Big food empire, General Mills, has announced that it will be removing all artificial food dyes and coloring from its cereals and school foods. However, that doesn’t make the cereals much “healthier”, considering they are still an ultra-processed food like product.
Kraft Heinz also pledged to eliminate artificial dyes by 2027, following its earlier removal from mac and cheese, signaling industry shifts toward cleaner ingredients, according to a report by Natural News.
Sure, it’s a small step in the right direction, but it doesn’t fix the problem of chronic metabolic disease sweeping developed countries that rely heavily on UPFs. While petroleum-based food dyes like Red No. 40 and Yellow No. 5 have been linked to behavioral issues in children and potential cancer risks in animals, they are far from the only problem with manufactured food-like products mass-produced in the United States.
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has urged food manufacturers to phase out synthetic dyes, citing growing concerns over their potential health risks, particularly for children. The decision follows a similar pledge by Kraft Heinz, signaling a broader industry shift toward cleaner ingredients for the processed foods industry.
Seed oils, sugar, and chemical additives are also metabolically disastrous to human health.

The announcement aligns with recent actions by the FDA, which recently declared plans to remove petroleum-based food dyes from the U.S. food supply by the end of next year. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary stated that the agency would work with the food industry to eliminate synthetic dyes such as FD&C Red No. 40 and Yellow No. 5—chemicals linked in some studies to behavioral issues in children and potential carcinogenic effects in animals. –Natural News

With all the news about banning certain things from the food supply, it’s important to remember that trusting those in power has gotten us where we are today. Obesity prevalence was 39.8% among U.S. adults aged 20–39 years, 44.3% among adults aged 40–59 years, and 41.5% among adults aged 60 years and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website. About 75% of Americans are overweight, signaling that this country’s metabolic health is horrendous.
