Walmart said Wednesday that it plans to remove synthetic food dyes and 30 other ingredients, including some preservatives, artificial sweeteners and fat substitutes, from its store brands sold in the United States by January 2027. The move announced by the the nation's largest retailer amounts to an acknowledgment that American consumers and the U.S. government under President Donald Trump are paying attention to what goes into packaged foods.
Here's the truth: Aldi for sure does not dye its meat with synthetic red dyes. In fact, back in 2015, the budget grocer announced that it had stopped using certified synthetic colors to dye any and all of its exclusive brand food products, in a response to feedback from its customers. This means that when you buy meat from Aldi, you know the grocery store hasn't altered any of its meats with synthetic red dyes.
