Dive Insights:
The food company made a voluntary promise to remove artificial dyes by applying pressure from the Trump administration and to remove the movement of the United States again. However, this vow was criticized for the lack of execution.
A contract with WK Kellogg with Texas, a conviction of voluntary compliance, is a step to make a food company responsible if it does not follow its promise. The details of the contract have not been disclosed, but if you violate the guarantee conditions for voluntary compliance, it can often lead to civil punishment or other sanctions.
PAXTON said in a statement, “The signed AVC shows that the Kellogg ‘S is doing its best to maintain a pledge, and the company praises that the company is doing the right work.” I recommend signing a similar contract to show other food manufacturers to show their dedication to help Americans live a healthier life. “
In April, Texas began an investigation into WK Kellogg, which was believed to have violated the Consumer Protection Act because it could not fulfill its pledge to remove artificial dyes. Last week, the state announced a similar survey of Skittles Maker Mars and announced last week that it will release Skittles, STARBURSTS and other symbolic candy next year.
Members of the Trump administration welcomed the Texas Agreement, and USDA assistant Brooke Rollins called this a “change the game.”
“Kellogg ‘s is the first company to sign a legal binding contract that removes toxic dyes in the cereal.” She wrote on X.
