Tyson to Drop High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Sucralose and Other Additives From U.S. Brands by 2025

The pledge follows growing pressure on food additives under the administration's Make America Healthy Again push.

Overview

  • Tyson said it will remove high-fructose corn syrup, sucralose, titanium dioxide, and the antioxidants BHA/BHT from U.S. products across brands including Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Wright, State Fair, Aidells, and ibp by the end of 2025.
  • The company emphasized the targeted ingredients remain FDA-approved and described the decision as a consumer-driven product review, citing comments from CEO Donnie King.
  • The move extends Tyson’s earlier 2025 action that eliminated petroleum-based synthetic dyes from its U.S. lineup.
  • Tyson shares fell about 1.5% in afternoon trading following the announcement, reflecting a modest market reaction.
  • Tyson did not detail replacement ingredients, as broader reformulations spread across the sector with examples such as Coca-Cola introducing a cane-sugar version of Coke and PepsiCo accelerating shifts to natural colors.
