Nestle plans to remove artificial food colourings from all products worldwide by end of 2026. This move comes amid pressure for healthier offerings due to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs popularity and growing consumer scrutiny over ingredients. Stefan Palzer, Nestle’s technology chief, confirmed the plan in an interview with Reuters.
The decision follows a trend among food manufacturers and retailers to eliminate artificial colours like FD&C synthetic dyes and sweeteners such as corn syrup from their products. The move reflects Nestle’s focus on weight-conscious consumers and those wary of processed foods amid shifting consumer diets.
Palzer said the decision was not easy, requiring extensive R&D work to test natural alternatives during production and ensuring shelf-life compatibility. He added that it was driven by consumer demand for simpler recipes free from artificial ingredients.
US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr and FDA also expressed concerns over potential health risks linked to artificial food colourings, including ADHD, obesity, and diabetes, though more research is needed.
