Tyson Foods will eliminate petroleum-based synthetic dyes from its products by the end of May 2025. CEO Donnie King made the announcement during an earnings call on Monday, May 5.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised Tyson Foods for their action in response to the agency’s plan to phase out these dyes from the nation’s food supply.
The Food and Drug Administration has called for the removal of specific synthetic dyes from food products due to health concerns, including their potential link to neurobehavioral problems.
