Nestlé USA intends to “fully eliminate” synthetic colors from its U.S. food and beverage portfolio by the middle of next year, the company said in a June 25 statement.

“Over the last decade, the company has been actively removing synthetic colors from its products and working to identify alternative solutions in recipes where they are still used,” the company said, adding that more than 90 percent of Nestlé USA’s current portfolio does not contain such colors.
