Major Food Manufacturer Is Cutting Corn Syrup For Its Products By End Of Year

Now, more than ever, it seems that people are doing their best to make informed food choices. Studies have shown that a healthy diet and regular exercise can lead to a longer life. Many food manufacturers are also heeding the advice and making big changes to offer safer and healthier options for their consumers. In April 20205, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office announced plans to phase out petroleum-based synthetic food dyes. Tyson Foods made those changes earlier this year. Now, the company will take things a step further to improve its products.
