Kellogg says it will remove artificial dyes from cereals by the end of 2027
NEW YORK — WK Kellogg Co. plans to remove artificial dyes from its breakfast cereals in the next two and a half years, according to the company and the attorney general of Texas. The maker of Froot Loops and Apple Jacks gave the timeline as U.S. food producers face increasing pressure from the U.S. government and consumers to phase out synthetic colorings from their products. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Wednesday that Kellogg had signed an agreement assuring his office that the Michigan-based company would 'permanently remove toxic dyes' from its cereals by the end of 2027. Paxton launched an investigation earlier this year into whether Kellogg violated state consumer protection laws by continuing to use blue, red, yellow, green, and orange artificial dyes. Around the same time, U.S. health officials said that they would urge foodmakers to voluntarily work toward removing petroleum-based colors. Both Kellogg and General Mills, another major U.S. cereal maker, said they would. General Mills later joined Kraft Heinz, Nestle, Smuckers and some other food manufacturers in announcing target dates for making all their products without artificial dyes. But Paxton's office said Kellogg was the first to sign a 'legally binding' agreement. 'Following months of investigating and negotiating, I'm proud to officially say Kellogg's will stop putting these unhealthy ingredients in its cereals,' the attorney general said in a statement. Details about the terms of the agreement Kellogg signed, which is legally known as an assurance of voluntary compliance, were not immediately clear. The company did not comment on it directly when reached by The Associated Press on Thursday but said it appreciates 'the opportunity to work collaboratively with the Texas AG's office and share their focus on health and wellness.' Kellogg also pointed to its earlier commitment to phase out FD&C dyes, which are synthetic additives that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved for use in food, drugs and cosmetics. It said it already planned to stop launching new products with the dyes in January. 'We have announced we are reformulating our cereals served in schools to not include FD&C colors by the 2026-27 school year,' Kellogg said in an emailed statement Thursday. By the end of 2027, 'we will completely remove FD&C colors from the small percentage of our foods that contain them today.' According to Kellogg's website, 85% of the cereal the company sells contains no FD&C colors — and none of its products have included Red No. 3 for years. Federal regulators banned that dye from food in January. Synthetic dyes have long been used to make brightly colored cereals, drinks, candies, baked goods and even products like cough syrup. But health advocates have called for the removal of artificial dyes from foods, citing mixed studies indicating they can cause neurobehavioral problems, including hyperactivity and attention issues, in some children. The FDA has maintained that its currently approved dyes are safe and that 'the totality of scientific evidence shows that most children have no adverse effects when consuming foods containing color additives.' Pressure on the food industry has increased since Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an outspoken critic of such synthetic additives, became President Donald Trump's health secretary. Grantham-Philips writes for the Associated Press.

How CTOs can capture the $750 billion AI opportunity
Those of us who lead development teams already know how deeply AI has transformed the way innovation happens. Now there are numbers to quantify how big of an impact it's having. AI-powered software innovation is generating savings of $28,249 per developer annually, according to GitLab's 2025 executive research report, which surveyed thousands of C-level executives from around the world. Applying this to the world's 27 million developers means that AI has the potential to unlock more than $750 billion in global value annually. With savings like that, it's no wonder C-Suite leaders are on board with AI's potential to drive greater efficiency in software innovation. Nine out of ten executives (91%) say that software innovation is now a core business priority for their organization. But there's still room to grow. While executives aspire to build human-AI partnerships that split software development work 50-50, the majority report that AI is currently only handling about 25% of the work. To help operationalize AI among development teams, leaders must effectively communicate and frame its value and connect development activities to business outcomes by focusing on problem-solving capabilities and direct business impact rather than code volume. This shift in thinking will be critical to fully realizing AI's potential. AI isn't eliminating developer jobs. However, it is fundamentally changing what those jobs require and how executives need to lead and structure teams to capitalize on this massive opportunity. The organizations capturing AI value share three critical traits: They have the right CTO strategy with relentless customer focus They're applying platform thinking to enable their teams to scale more effectively with AI They're investing in team structures and upskilling to help their developers reap the benefits of AI LEVERAGE THE RIGHT TECHNICAL LEADERS With 82% of C-suite leaders willing to invest over half of their IT budgets in software innovation, it's clear that this is the moment for technical leaders to shine. I've found throughout my career that CTOs come in several different styles, and companies need varying styles of technical leadership at different points in their evolution. There are three CTO styles: builder, strategist, and guardian. Builders Builder CTOs excel at innovating with AI, establishing core technical architecture and developing innovative products while constantly validating their assumptions with customer feedback. Builder CTOs are ideal for smaller, high-growth companies, and those that are earlier in their AI journeys. Strategists Strategist CTOs shine when companies mature, combining deep technical acumen and business knowledge to build platforms, develop long-term visions, cultivate strategic partnerships, and position the company for long-term, scalable growth. The strategist CTO can help make AI into a permanent, value-additive component of the company's strategic platform. Guardian Guardian CTOs excel at helping companies with complex IT infrastructures and large customer bases maintain stability, security and operational efficiency. They are the right fit for companies whose priorities include implementing governance and security measures around AI, as well as establishing AI processes and standards to maximize efficiency and cost savings. Success in AI-powered software innovation requires leadership that can identify targeted AI applications, translate them into customer value and enable teams to focus on higher-value work. EMBRACE PLATFORM THINKING FOR SCALE As organizations grow, teams specialize in focusing on specific challenges, but with more teams, coordination among them can become inefficient. By the time an organization reaches the tens of thousands, those divisions often turn into silos that can hinder effective collaboration among humans and prevent the organization from realizing the benefits of human-AI collaboration. In my experience, the most effective CTOs are implementing platform-based approaches to set their companies up for scalable growth without creating silos. The most common way is to establish a centralized team that's responsible for building a platform that product teams across the organization can use. This team's primary purpose is to automate mundane tasks and provide streamlined workflows for all software innovation teams throughout the organization—a role that AI can enhance. CTOs may need to establish specialized teams to support a complicated subsystem required by the rest of the organization. An organization with a complex need, such as evaluating fraud risk in new customers or solving supply-chain complexities in real time, might organize a team dedicated to supporting that as an AI-powered 'subsystem' that the rest of the company can use. Setting up software teams for success in the AI era means letting humans focus on work that AI can't do well. Although AI can assist with many software development tasks like coding, it cannot define the 'why' behind a project. Engineers who can translate business needs into technical solutions and anticipate future trends will be invaluable. Those who can combine technical skills with critical thinking skills will be better able to guide AI technologies and realize the productivity gains of human-AI partnerships. Training in specific AI-related skills, such as prompt engineering and data management, will be crucial. Human contributions that will matter the most are creativity, strategic vision, and collaboration. However, there's a significant perception gap to address. A recent GitLab DevSecOps report found that 25% of individual contributors reported that their organizations don't provide adequate AI training, compared to only 15% of C-level executives who shared the same sentiment. Forward-thinking CTOs will frame upskilling as an investment in the human-AI partnership that will deliver competitive advantages. THE FUTURE STILL NEEDS HUMAN INNOVATORS The $750 billion opportunity represented by AI-powered software innovation won't materialize automatically. Taking advantage of the power of AI requires appropriate leadership, platform thinking, and upskilling in a way that enables humans to focus on what they do best while letting AI manage and automate mundane tasks. AI is changing the software development landscape, but it's not eliminating the need for skilled engineers. Instead, it's shifting the focus toward higher-value work that requires human judgment, ingenuity, and strategic thinking. Over time, human software innovators will be able to focus increasingly on the work that drives competitive advantage. Companies embracing AI-powered innovation can then transform themselves and their industries in unforeseen ways.
