On Wednesday, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about some coming changes to the food that America eats.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Major food brand General Mills will remove all artificial dyes from its products by 2027, the company announced Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company also announced plans to remove \u201ccertified colors\u201d from all of its American cereal brands and all of its products in school lunches by summer 2026, they said in a press release<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Food giants Kraft Heinz and General Mills have this week announced they will commit to removing artificial colours from all of their US food products by the end of 2027.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The announcements come amid increasing scrutiny of artificial dyes and other synthetic food additives in the US, with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr calling on all major food companies in the country to remove the dyes from their products by the end of his term in 2029.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This aligns with Kennedy\u2019s Make America Health Again agenda, seeking to address chronic health issues by reforming dietary practices. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already banned the use of the synthetic Red Dye 3 after it was linked to cancer in laboratory rats<\/a>. Other synthetic colours have been linked to potential adverse health effects, such as hyperactivity in children, fuelling growing concerns over their use.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The article at foodbev.com concludes:<\/p>\n

Jeff Harmening, chairman and CEO of General Mills, said: \u201cAcross the long arc of our history, General Mills has moved quickly to meet evolving consumer needs, and reformulating our product portfolio to remove certified colours is yet another example\u201d.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cKnowing the trust families place in us, we are leading the way on removing certified colours in cereals and K-12 foods by next summer. We\u2019re committed to continuing to make food that tastes great and is accessible to all.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The company has made several moves to enhance the health of its offerings in recent years, including addressing sugar reduction, doubling vitamin D in its cereals by 2023 and reducing sodium by 20% across key product categories since 2019.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
