Nestlé's Commitment to Remove Artificial Dyes from U.S. Foods by 2026
Nestlé's Bold Move Against Artificial Dyes
Nestlé has announced that it will stop using artificial dyes in its U.S. food and beverages by mid-2026. This decision aligns with a broader industry trend as other giants like Kraft Heinz and General Mills have also pledged to eliminate these additives.
Growing Consumer Support
According to a recent AP-NORC poll, approximately two-thirds of Americans support reformulating processed foods to remove harmful ingredients, including added sugars and dyes. This movement has prompted legislative action in states like California and West Virginia, where bans on artificial dyes in school foods have been enacted.
Legislative Changes
In addition to private sector pledges, significant legislative measures are also on the horizon. Texas recently introduced a bill requiring foods made with artificial dyes to carry a new safety label by 2027, ensuring consumers are informed about what they are consuming.
