The Ice Cream Industry Promised No More Dyes by 2027 — We Read the Labels to See Who Kept It

The ice cream industry promised to eliminate synthetic dyes by the end of 2027. Dozens of companies, 90%+ of the US market. So we read the current US labels — checked September 2026 — to see who kept the promise. 7 products still list certified synthetic dyes. One lists a dye the FDA has already revoked. And 3 of the biggest brands were already dye-free before the pledge existed. We didn't lab-test anything. We read the labels. CHAPTERS (from final render): 00:00 They promised.
