WASHINGTON: No more artificial flavours and colours in Butterfinger, Babe Ruth or any Nestle chocolate candies in the United States, because Americans want them gone, the Swiss food giant said on Tuesday. Nestle USA pledged to remove artificial flavours and government-certified colours from all its more than 250 products by the end of the year. “We’re excited to be the first major US candy manufacturer to make this commitment,” said Doreen Ida, president of Nestle USA Confections & Snacks. The unit of the world’s leading food company said its customer research on brands like Butterfinger showed US consumers prefer candy that is free of artificial flavours and colours.
