Walmart announced it will remove 30 ingredients, including synthetic food dyes and preservatives, from its U.S. store brands by January 2027. The move, affecting about 1,000 products, responds to consumer demand for fewer additives. While some removed ingredients are already banned or not widely used, the initiative is seen by advocates as a significant step towards cleaner food options. This reformulation, primarily impacting the Great Value brand, follows similar pledges from other major food companies.
