>Walmart is removing synthetic dyes and more than 30 other ingredients — like certain preservatives, artificial sweeteners and fat substitutes — from its U.S. private brand foods, including Great Value, Marketside, Freshness Guaranteed and bettergoods.>Customers will still get the same great taste and value, with high quality options they can feel good about feeding their families.https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2025/10/01/walmart-u-s-moves-to-eliminate-synthetic-dyes-across-all-private-brand-food-products
Ok when do they remove the unhealthy nonwhites from the stores?
Well yeah. The name brands did that shit a long time ago and they have to match them. Meanwhile, their great value cereals are still using HFCS and bht when Post, GM, and Kellogg's removed all of that shit a long time ago. It's all about sorbitol based syrups now. (malt extract or malt syrup)
>>21784496... so this will be their next excuse for raising prices
>>21784535>implying they need excuses anymore
>making tiny and inconsequential change so culture war MAGAtards will keep eating gigaprocessed unhealthy slopIt's a good thing the dyes are gone but it's very obvious why they're doing it, and this change only affects your diet if you're eating gutter-tier nonfood. If it makes some retard eat two bags of cheetos instead of one a week then it's probably a net loss on his health.

Meanwhile we are dumping lithium all over the place and pretending it’s “green energy”. Honk honk.
>>21784770lithium is good it helps you stay sane. most everyone should have some
>>21784851https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJGpsL_XYQINot their best song but I like Amy Lee:)
>>21784496I won’t be impressed until they stop selling Chinese candy (check the candy cane labels) and Indian spices
>>21784496Why does he look so surprised?
>>21784535You voted for this.
whelp there goes my etsy shop
>>21785189would you have expected walmart to remove unnecessary crap from food?
>>21784770>Implying fossil fuels don't pollute more and don't use any lithium at any stage of extraction, refinement or transportation

>>21785198dyes in food/beveragesdon't tell me you've been boiling down grape drank to dye your hand-knitted scrotum cradles
>MAHAI can't keep up with this shit anymore. It's not 2015 anymore, the memes aren't funny
>MAHA
>>21785413MA HA
>>21785189his stock in the food dye corporation is about to tank but he can't call his broker live on air
>>21785320>fossil fuelshi boomer
>>21785506Lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
>>21785413this is how I'm going to choose to hear MAHA from now on
>>21784496Normally this means one big ass corporation needs the dyes and "ingredients" when they are selling a product combined of aforementioned dyes and "ingredients". Nothing is changing.
Walmart has stepped it up recently, the better goods stuff is legit good.
>>21784535it's funny how prices still haven't gone down but you haven't seen a single rightoid complain about inflation despite spending 3 years screeching "bidenflation"
>>21786081Prices have gone down. President Trump's plans are fixing the economy but repairing the damage Biden did takes time of course. Libs are also constantly posting propaganda about how groceries didn't get cheaper when in most places (not California but fuck them) they did. People have more money to spend than before, look at Black Friday spending to see how it goes through the roof.
>>21785320They don't care man. They are literal NPCs that see everything through a bipartisan lens. It's why they're only concerned with the environmental impact of green energies but completely ignore hydrocarbons
>>21784496It's a good first effort but I have a feeling it's going to be like all the BPA fiasco; all the "BPA free" products just use BPB which is basically the same thing as BPA. Notice how they don't list any of the alternatives and just say>Walmart is working with suppliers to update recipes and source alternative ingredientsUltimately rightoids will think this is some big win and nothing will materially change.
>>21786144You are not entirely wrong, but walmart appears to be doing this of its own volition as a response to a shift in the culture. They're not doing it under pressure from Kennedy's HHS. They've got bigger projects going on, like taking on the pharmaceutical industry to target SSRIs and vaccines. We also had the recent announcement that the USDA is investing $700m on regenerative agriculture: https://www.aginfo.net/report/64278/Farm-of-the-Future/USDA-s-Regenerative-Agriculture-PilotThe walmart thing is quite small, and they're still not even removing additives I refuse to eat like corn syrup, citric acid, and maltodextrin. I don't eat that garbage anyway so it doesn't effect me, but their decision will have some small positive effect on the health of the general population who does not concern themselves with these things.
>>21786098Bipartisan bullshit. I'm sure you'll pilpul some shit out of your ass in defense of the Current Administration ™, but I hope you see it's been the same decline under both parties for decades now.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/black-friday-cyber-monday-2025-spending-deals-inflation/"So far, we're seeing value-focused retailers like Walmart and off-price do well," he said. "Some of the accessible luxury brands, such as Coach and Ralph Lauren, are also doing really well. So there are winners out there, but the low-volume growth means that there are losers, too."The losers are small businesses btw
>>21785413lmao
>>21784757What racism?
>>21786144They did it to match the name brands and also keep pace with the other private labels that did the same a long ass time ago.
>>21784523Stop venturing into the middle aisles and stick to the produce and meat departments.
>>21785350not really my jam...
>>21786407I did go back to the outer aisles. It's just knowledge I picked up during my brief visits to the inner aisles.
>>21784496great value used to be very cheap but now it's fucking expensive, this will just make it even more expensive
>>21786162>walmart appears to be doing this of its own volition as a response to a shift in the culture.Same thing with all the companies that switched to "BPA free" which again makes me think it's all performative just to get a quick PR win.>corn syrupYeah wake me up when Trump wants to get serious and go after corn/soybean subsidies. He won't though because that would require actual work and would piss off too many people in his constituency.
