Welch's Fruit Snacks to Cut Synthetic Dyes Beginning in 2026
Welch's Fruit Snacks will cut synthetic dyes from its full lineup of products by early 2026, parent company PIM Brands Inc. said, making it the latest American brand to pledge to eliminate the colorants.
Welch's Fruit Snacks will exclusively use colors from natural sources, PIM Brands said Monday. The brand began looking at a transition to natural colors in 2015, and didn't use synthetic dyes in any new products beginning in 2018, according to a company statement. But the brand's original Mixed Fruit Snacks still contain Red 40 and Blue 1, as do some of PIM Brands' other products.
