More than 10 of the largest food corporations in the United States have pledged to remove artificial food dyes and other additives voluntarily. The moves come after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s request in April for companies to phase out petroleum-based synthetics from the food supply.
The Hershey Company, maker of Reese’s, Jolly Rancher, and SkinnyPop, is the most recent food manufacturer to join the contingent, announcing Monday its plan to phase out artificial dyes by 2027. The J.M. Smuckers Company, the jelly-maker, announced similar plans last week.
