Nestlé says it will eliminate artificial food colorings from its entire global product portfolio by the end of 2026. Multiple outlets report that a senior executive made the commitment, framing it as an expansion of the company’s “clean label” approach across markets rather than a limited or regional change. The reports state that the target covers synthetic or FD&C-style dyes and applies to Nestlé products worldwide, with the company presenting the move as a first-of-its-kind step among major food manufacturers. Coverage also links the decision to wider consumer and market trends, including demand for simpler ingredient lists and ingredients perceived as more natural. While the sources emphasize the goal and timing, they do not provide detailed timelines for individual product categories or the specific alternatives Nestlé plans to use. Overall, the reports agree that Nestlé is setting a company-wide deadline of end-2026 to remove artificial colorants from all products.
