Dozens of ice cream companies on July 14 said they’ve pledged to eliminate artificial colors from their products by the end of 2027, in a development hailed by U.S. officials including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“We have all come together as the ice cream industry to lead major change and to make this commitment to remove artificial colors,” Andy Jacobs, CEO of Turkey Hill Dairy and chairman of the International Dairy Foods Association ice cream board, said at a press conference in Washington alongside Kennedy.
