In the United Kingdom, Kraft's Mac & Cheese product doesn't contain any artificial dyes. However, Kraft does add yellow dye to its Mac & Cheese sold in the U.S., because the U.S. doesn't ban the ingredient.

In the United Kingdom, Kraft's Mac & Cheese product doesn't contain any artificial dyes. However, Kraft does add yellow dye to its Mac & Cheese sold in the U.S., because the U.S. doesn't ban the ingredient. Good for You! to Mom bloggers Lisa Leake and Vani Hari, who've been getting the word out about this! The two North Carolina food bloggers have posted a petition, which now has 25,000 signatures and growing, on Change.org, asking Kraft to offer Americans the same dye-free product they sell in Europe. The bloggers posted a YouTube video of themselves where they taste-tested the two versions of Mac & Cheese, reporting "virtually no difference" in color or taste. The two women say they worry because food dyes have been associated with hyperactivity and learning difficulties for children, as well as allergies and migraines.
