Live and let dye: the race to replace artificial food coloring

Food manufacturers in the United States, large and small, are confronted with obstacles as they seek to eliminate synthetic food dyes.

Kraft Heinz, Nestlé, General Mills and the main manufacturers of ice cream have all recently promised to move towards natural coloring in the midst of the Trump administration to eliminate artificial dyes of the country’s food supply, as well as a wider movement by states to prohibit them due to security problems.

The transition presents challenges for food companies in the development of reliable and profitable natural dyes, which are generally more expensive and difficult to do, requiring higher concentrations to obtain the same shade. The change has also raised questions about the long -term impact of natural colors on the health of consumers.

The Atkinson Candy Company, based in Texas, which makes chick-stick Candy Bar, is one of the small manufacturers who find it difficult to maintain a distinctive shade while removing synthetic food colors.

“They say in industry that the taste is king, but the color is queen,” said CEO Eric Atkinson. “The queen is very important.”
