SPRINGDALE, Ark. — Tyson Foods is taking another proactive step forward in its mission to bring high-quality food to every table in the world, safely, sustainably and affordably now and for future generations, the company said while announcing its goal is to stop using high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, BHA/BHT and titanium dioxide in the production of branded products in the U.S. by the end of 2025. Those brands include Tyson®, Jimmy Dean®, Hillshire Farm®, Wright®, State Fair®, Aidells®, ibp® and others.
Earlier this year, Tyson Foods removed petroleum-based synthetic dyes from its domestic branded products. The ingredients being removed are U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and safe to use.
“We continuously review and assess our product portfolio to ensure the highest quality products that meet the needs of consumers,” Donnie King, Tyson Foods president and CEO, said. “Our decision to remove High Fructose Corn Syrup and other ingredients reflects our ongoing commitment to feeding the world like family, while preserving the taste, value and integrity that define our iconic brands.”
This voluntary initiative aligns with Tyson Foods’ Core Values of feeding families and the nation with trusted food products, the company said, adding that, in recent years, it has been dedicated to reducing sodium, sugars and other food additives.
