  • Tyson Foods has been "proactively reformulating" food products containing petroleum-based synthetic dyes and plans to finish work to eliminate them from its production process by the end of May, CEO Donnie King said on Monday. Most of the meat company's retail-branded products, including Tyson chicken nuggets, do not contain those types of dyes, King said on an earnings call. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said last month that the agency plans to remove synthetic dyes from the U.S. supply by revoking authorizations of some and working with the industry to voluntarily remove others.

Tyson Foods, a major U.S. meat producer, has reformulated many of its food products to remove antibiotics, artificial ingredients, and other unwanted substances in response to consumer demand for cleaner labels. The company has introduced new product lines such as "All Natural" chicken, "No Antibiotics Ever" beef, and "100% Natural" pork, which have seen significant sales growth. Tyson's CEO, Donnie Smith, emphasized the company's commitment to meeting consumer preferences for simpler, more natural ingredients, and the company plans to continue expanding its range of antibiotic-free and organic products.
