PepsiCo to rebrand Lay's, Tostitos without artificial dyes, flavors
By Jessica DiNapoli and Juveria Tabassum (Reuters) -PepsiCo is planning to highlight what will no longer be in its potato or tortilla chips - artificial colors or flavors - when it re-launches its Lay's and Tostitos brands later this year, executives said on Thursday. The overhaul for the company's top-selling snack brands comes as U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushes Americans to eat "whole foods" and pressures manufacturers to ditch dyes. U.S. food makers have been announcing plans to remove dyes from their products and introduce new ones without the colors under pressure from Kennedy and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) social movement backing him. "We're trying to elevate the real food perception of Lay's. If you think about the simplest and most natural snack, it is a potato chip; it's a potato, it's oil, and it's a little bit of salt—the most simple, no artificial ingredients," said CEO Ramon Laguarta in a call with investors. The company also said it was expanding use of avocado and olive oil across its brands, rather than the canola or soybean oil it uses. The MAHA movement has questioned the health benefits of certain food oils. In April, PepsiCo said it planned to migrate its entire portfolio to natural colors, or give consumers the option to have a product without a synthetic dye. Its Cheetos snacks and Gatorade drinks rely on synthetic dyes for their bright hues. It already offers Lay's and Doritos without artificial colors or flavors under its Simply segment. 'The Simply line extension for existing chip brands is still in early innings - consumers have not engaged so far, and given that, it will be seen how consumers react to a rebranding of Lay's and Tostitos over the next couple of quarters,' said Christian Greiner, F/m Investments senior portfolio manager. COSTLY PREMIUM PRODUCTS? The soda pop maker also said on Thursday it would use sugar in its products like Pepsi beverages if consumers want it. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said Coca-Cola will start using cane sugar in its beverages in the U.S., a dietary preference of Kennedy's MAHA movement. Both Pepsi and Coke use high-fructose corn syrup for their sodas, which is generally more cost-effective. The moves come at a time when packaged food companies like PepsiCo are seeing consumers reel in their spending after the industry raised prices over the years since the COVID-19 pandemic to shield their margins. PepsiCo has been offering more products at lower price points and smaller pack sizes in its food segment to meet the demand for affordable snacks. "While there is clearly demand for cleaner ingredients in food and beverage products, it remains to be seen if consumers will be willing to pay up for these more premium products, especially in today's inflationary environment and more price-sensitive consumer base," said Arun Sundaram, analyst at CFRA Research. Laguarta also said on Thursday the company would be entering the "liquid protein" space, as protein shakes grow increasingly popular. He also said the company would be adding protein options to its popcorn brand PopCorners and Quaker snacks. Sign in to access your portfolio

‘Everyone thought we were nuts': Woman's idea that turned into a multimillion-dollar success
Jose Bryce Smith was running a hair salon when she risked $80,000 to back her own simple but innovative idea. Back in 2007, Ms Bryce-Smith conceived the idea to launch Original & Mineral, a haircare line that focused on using natural ingredients instead of chemicals. The 50-year-old said even though $80,000 was a staggering amount back in 2007 she always knew what she could afford to spend. 'Although $80K was a lot in the early 2000s, we had a good business, our hair salon! So if we did lose it, we knew we could make it back,' she told 'We believed in the product.' Ms Bryce-Smith might have been sure about her plan, but not everyone else was sold on the idea. 'Everyone thought we were nuts,' she said. 'Some people told me to get a proper job, since I'd had a career in advertising in the UK, and for many years I earned no money doing O&M.' She also found it hard to get people to believe in the product because many claimed it wasn't possible to make hair products without ammonia. There was one person though who completely supported her even when she wasn't making a wage from the bold idea. 'My mum always had an unwavering belief in me and my ability to do anything.' she said. 'I've never been afraid to back myself, I mean, what's the worst that can happen? You fail. I've done a lot of that, and I learned a lot from it, which set me up for success.' The fact that Ms Bryce-Smith always believed in herself and the brand turned out to be a winning recipe. Original & Mineral is now stocked at over 50,000 salons globally and a product sells every 8 seconds. That doesn't mean the success didn't come without failure along the way. Looking back, she can see the mistakes she made. 'I think one of the biggest mistakes was choosing the wrong people, letting people pick me instead of me picking them,' she said. 'Starting a business is a very entrepreneurial mission, and the lows are not for everyone. There's a lot of pivoting and problem-solving.' There has been so much success along over the years, but Ms Bryce-Smith is still buzzing about launching their hair colouring product a decade ago. 'We cracked the formula in 2015,' she said. What makes the product special is that it doesn't smell and there are no fumes. As Aussies have come to care more about wellness and health, the product has grown in popularity and really took off during the pandemic. The success has led to the brand growing even further, and now there are over 50 people working in the head office in Sydney. The profit is in the 'tens of millions' and has grown four times the size in the last few years, with the business continuing to scale up. Most importantly though, Ms Bryce-Smith is proud of what she's created and still believes in what she's doing. 'It was never about the size and growth (that is) a by-product of doing what you love,' she said.

Move Over Snail Mucin, Beef Tallow is TikTok's Latest Skincare Obsession
Much of caring for your skin in the 21st century entails experimenting with trending ingredients and techniques, no matter how bizarre they sound. Snail mucin, bee's venom, salmon DNA, dragon's blood… in the name of skincare, it shall be tried and tested. Recently, the realm of SkinTok opened its gates to yet another viral ingredient known as beef tallow — and unlike dragon's blood which has nothing to do with slaying the mythical creature, beef tallow has everything to do with the farm animal. What's the beef? 'Beef tallow is a type of fat obtained from the fatty tissue of cows, typically from areas around the kidneys or loins known as suet,' explains Dr Madhuri Agarwal, founder and medical director, YAVANA Aesthetics. 'After processing, it becomes a solid, creamy fat rich in saturated fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K.' What makes it popular is its fatty acid profile, which is rather similar to human sebum, which is suggested to help support the skin barrier, reduce dryness, and aid in skin healing. This now viral skincare ingredient, however, isn't a recent discovery. According to the founder and medical director at Epione Medical Corporation and Hollywood's go-to cosmetic dermatologist, Dr Simon Ourian, beef tallow dates back to ancient civilisations. 'They were onto something, but they also didn't have access to the dermatologic science we have today,' he says. The skin benefits Just like snail mucin, beef tallow is perceived as a 'natural' ingredient that can aid in treating the skin, and that's what makes it popular even today. 'People are drawn to it for its simplicity and nostalgic appeal — it's unprocessed, rich, and feels natural,' Dr Ourian states. Think of it as a whole-fat moisturiser, adds Dr Agarwal. Rich in palmitic, stearic, and oleic acid, as well as linoleic acid, it is said to deeply hydrate, repair the skin barrier, and reduce irritation, particularly for dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin. Safe for all? …not without limitations! While beef tallow is beneficial for individuals with dry or reactive skin, there are potential risks and side effects for others. 'It's very occlusive,' warns Dr Ourian. 'This means that it can clog pores, especially in those with oily or acne-prone skin.' Its non-comedogenic nature can even exacerbate skin conditions such as acne or folliculitis — quite contrary to the acne-reducing properties TikTok seems to be promoting.
