The Trump administration is celebrating Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) victories in his first 200 days in office — from tackling artificial dyes in the food supply to addressing the controversial topic of vaccines.
Prior to his second term, Trump promised to make MAHA a priority in his second term, and his administration has been working to fulfill that promise.
Already, with just 200 days into Trump’s second term, America has seen some drastic shifts in his arena, as Trump’s MAHA policy goals have permeated the private sector. Over the past several months, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has celebrated several companies taking the step to phase out their use of artificial dyes in the food supply.
Steak & Shake was among the first, replacing seed oils and moving to beef tallow. In-N-Out Burger, another popular fast food joint, has committed to removing Red Dye 40 and Yellow 5 as well as artificial flavors.
McCormick has committed to dropping food dyes and reformulating some of their products, and PepsiCo has also committed to removing artificial ingredients from popular food items.
Other major companies that have committed to eliminating artificial or synthetic dyes — at least in some capacity — include Kraft Heinz, General Mills, Nestlé, Conagra Brands Inc, Welch’s Fruit Snacks, Tyson Foods, Hershey, JM Smucker, and many others.
Additionally, Sam’s Club committed to removing 40 harmful ingredients from private-label products.
