Heeding the call to ban artificial ingredients by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., PepsiCo isn’t wasting any time getting started.
Ramon Laguarta, PepsiCo Inc. chair and chief executive officer, said in an April 24 conference call that the company will reduce artificial ingredients and has already begun doing so, as Food Business News reported.
“We’ve been leading the transformation of the industry now for a long time on sodium reduction, sugar reduction and better fats,” Laguarta said.
“Sixty percent-plus of our (portfolio) today doesn’t have any artificial colors,” he said — and the company is “undergoing that transition.”
Laguarta cited examples such as Lay’s and Tostitos, which “will be out of artificial colors by the end of this year.”
