Walmart says it plans to remove synthetic dyes and 30 other food additives from its store brands sold in the United States by January 2027. The move announced by the the nation’s largest retailer on Wednesday amounts to an acknowledgment that American consumers and the U.S. government under President Donald Trump are paying attention to what goes into packaged foods. Walmart says its goal would affect about 1,000 products, including salty snacks, baked goods, power drinks, salad dressings and frosting. Several of the ingredients on Walmart’s removal list, however, already are banned, not widely used or have not been used in the U.S. food supply for decades.
