Kraft Heinz will remove artificial dyes from all products by 2027. The Jell-O, Kool-Aid, and Lunchables proprietor made the announcement yesterday, about two months after the FDA under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed a plan to phase out petroleum-based artificial colors from food and medication. Kraft Heinz said 90% of its products don’t use synthetic dyes, but the ones that do (primarily in the beverage and dessert categories) will soon switch to natural colors. And, no, this does not mean your ketchup is going to turn beige: Kraft says it’s never used artificial colors in its signature condiment.
President Trump threatened Iran’s supreme leader. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the US knows where Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is “hiding,” calling him an “easy target” but saying he will not be killed, “at least not for now.” He also demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender” as it traded airstrikes with Israel for the fifth day. Trump’s escalating rhetoric came as the US moved more warships into the Middle East in what officials said was a defensive position. The president also posted, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” but it was unclear if that meant the US was directly involved in the conflict. Trump is reportedly weighing using US military assets to strike Iran.
OpenAI and Microsoft are reportedly beefing. The biggest partnership in AI might be on the rocks, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. OpenAI is reportedly considering the “nuclear option” of accusing Microsoft of anticompetitive behavior as it seeks to convince the tech giant to approve its conversion into a for-profit company. Per the WSJ, the two companies don’t agree on how much of OpenAI Microsoft would own if the former were to launch a public-benefit corporation. Microsoft has invested billions into OpenAI in exchange for access to its technology, but they have recently become rivals amid the artificial intelligence arms race.—AE
