Kraft Heinz to rid all chemical dyes over next 2 years

The Star17-06-2025
NEW YORK, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Kraft Heinz, the food giant best known for its ketchup and boxed Mac & Cheese, said on Tuesday it would remove all chemical dyes from its products by the end of 2027.
The company said the shift would affect only about 10 percent of its portfolio by sales. The New York Times quoted a spokeswoman as confirming that it would affect brands like Kool-Aid, Jell-O, Crystal Light and other beverages and desserts that contain dyes like Red No. 40 and Blue No. 1.
Kraft Heinz is the first major food company to officially announce plans to stop using artificial colors. In April, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he had reached "an understanding" with food manufacturers to remove commonly used artificial food dyes from their products by 2026.

Sarawak to export SG-1 pineapples to China and Singapore next year

KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak has reached a new milestone as the state plans to export its own pineapple variety, SG-1 or Sarawak Gold-1, to China and Singapore starting next year, the Dewan Rakyat was told today. Deputy Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Arthur Joseph Kurup said this achievement demonstrates Sarawak's capability to develop premium tropical fruit varieties that can compete in international markets. The achievement also demonstrates that no state or region is left out by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and the federal government in implementing programmes or projects related to the national food security sector. 'Sarawak has several notable achievements. For example, next year it will export its own pineapple variety, SG-1, for the first time to China and Singapore,' he said during a question-and-answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today. He was responding to a supplementary question from Kalam Salan (PN-Sabak Bernam) regarding claims that Sarawak had been marginalised in food security projects and the ministry's targets for boosting local food production. - Bernama
