Customers Get Big Food to Remove Artificial Food Coloring from Products
Cornucopia’s Take: Companies eager to sell their products take notice when they receive a lot of complaints on their ingredients, and consumer pressure frequently works far faster than the regulatory system at cleaning up the food industry.
