Conagra Brands (NYSE: CAG) announced plans to complete the removal of FD&C colors from its U.S. frozen product portfolio by the end of 2025, marking a significant milestone in its portfolio modernization strategy. The initiative will extend to its entire U.S. retail portfolio by 2027 and K-12 school products by the 2026-2027 school year.

The company, which generated over $12 billion in fiscal 2024 net sales, continues to adapt to consumer preferences through its brands including Birds Eye, Healthy Choice, and Marie Callender's. Notably, Conagra recently became the first major food brand to introduce "GLP-1 Friendly" labeling through its "On Track" badge on select Healthy Choice products, indicating high protein, low calorie, and good fiber content.

Conagra Brands (NYSE: CAG) ha annunciato l'intenzione di completare la rimozione dei coloranti FD&C dalla sua gamma di prodotti surgelati negli Stati Uniti entro la fine del 2025, segnando un importante traguardo nella strategia di modernizzazione del portafoglio. L'iniziativa si estenderà a tutto il portafoglio retail statunitense entro il 2027 e ai prodotti per le scuole K-12 entro l'anno scolastico 2026-2027.

L'azienda, che ha generato oltre 12 miliardi di dollari di vendite nette nel 2024 fiscale, continua ad adattarsi alle preferenze dei consumatori attraverso i suoi marchi come Birds Eye, Healthy Choice e Marie Callender's. In particolare, Conagra è recentemente diventata il primo grande marchio alimentare a introdurre l'etichettatura "GLP-1 Friendly" tramite il badge "On Track" su selezionati prodotti Healthy Choice, indicando un contenuto elevato di proteine, basso contenuto calorico e buona fibra.

Conagra Brands (NYSE: CAG) anunció planes para completar la eliminación de los colorantes FD&C de su portafolio de productos congelados en EE. UU. para finales de 2025, marcando un hito significativo en su estrategia de modernización del portafolio. La iniciativa se extenderá a todo su portafolio minorista en EE. UU. para 2027 y a los productos para escuelas K-12 para el año escolar 2026-2027.

La compañía, que generó más de 12 mil millones de dólares en ventas netas fiscales en 2024, continúa adaptándose a las preferencias de los consumidores a través de sus marcas como Birds Eye, Healthy Choice y Marie Callender's. Destaca que Conagra se convirtió recientemente en la primera marca alimentaria importante en introducir el etiquetado "GLP-1 Friendly" mediante su distintivo "On Track" en productos seleccionados de Healthy Choice, indicando alto contenido de proteínas, bajo en calorías y buena fibra.

Conagra Brands (NYSE: CAG)는 2025년 말까지 미국 냉동 제품 포트폴리오에서 FD&C 색소 제거를 완료할 계획을 발표하며 포트폴리오 현대화 전략에서 중요한 이정표를 세웠습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 2027년까지 미국 전체 소매 포트폴리오와 2026-2027 학년도 K-12 학교 제품으로 확대될 예정입니다.

2024 회계연도에 120억 달러 이상의 순매출을 기록한 이 회사는 Birds Eye, Healthy Choice, Marie Callender's 등 브랜드를 통해 소비자 선호도에 계속 적응하고 있습니다. 특히 Conagra는 최근 Healthy Choice 일부 제품에 "On Track" 배지를 통해 "GLP-1 Friendly" 라벨을 도입한 최초의 주요 식품 브랜드가 되었으며, 이는 고단백, 저칼로리, 좋은 섬유질 함유를 의미합니다.

Conagra Brands (NYSE : CAG) a annoncé son intention de supprimer les colorants FD&C de sa gamme de produits surgelés aux États-Unis d'ici la fin 2025, marquant une étape importante dans sa stratégie de modernisation du portefeuille. Cette initiative s'étendra à l'ensemble de son portefeuille de vente au détail américain d'ici 2027 et aux produits destinés aux écoles K-12 pour l'année scolaire 2026-2027.

L'entreprise, qui a généré plus de 12 milliards de dollars de ventes nettes au cours de l'exercice 2024, continue de s'adapter aux préférences des consommateurs à travers ses marques telles que Birds Eye, Healthy Choice et Marie Callender's. Notamment, Conagra est récemment devenue la première grande marque alimentaire à introduire un label "GLP-1 Friendly" via son badge "On Track" sur une sélection de produits Healthy Choice, indiquant une teneur élevée en protéines, faible en calories et une bonne teneur en fibres.

Conagra Brands (NYSE: CAG) kündigte Pläne an, die Entfernung von FD&C-Farbstoffen aus seinem US-amerikanischen Tiefkühlproduktportfolio bis Ende 2025 abzuschließen, was einen bedeutenden Meilenstein in seiner Portfolio-Modernisierungsstrategie darstellt. Die Initiative wird bis 2027 auf das gesamte US-Einzelhandelsportfolio und bis zum Schuljahr 2026-2027 auf Produkte für K-12-Schulen ausgeweitet.

Das Unternehmen, das im Geschäftsjahr 2024 einen Nettoumsatz von über 12 Milliarden US-Dollar erzielte, passt sich weiterhin den Verbraucherpräferenzen durch Marken wie Birds Eye, Healthy Choice und Marie Callender's an. Bemerkenswert ist, dass Conagra kürzlich als erste große Lebensmittelmarke die "GLP-1 Friendly"-Kennzeichnung mit dem "On Track"-Abzeichen auf ausgewählten Healthy Choice-Produkten eingeführt hat, was einen hohen Proteingehalt, niedrige Kalorienzahl und guten Ballaststoffgehalt signalisiert.

CHICAGO, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG) announced that it will reach an important milestone in the company's long-standing portfolio modernization strategy by completing the removal of certified Food, Drug & Cosmetic colors ("FD&C colors") from its U.S. frozen product portfolio by the end of 2025. This milestone represents yet another important achievement in Conagra's multi-year journey to innovate and modernize products to meet evolving consumer trends.

"Conagra Brands is known for innovating delicious, on-trend foods, and our transition away from FD&C colors is just one aspect of our broader strategy to modernize our portfolio to align with consumer preferences," said Tom McGough, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Conagra Brands. "Our leading portfolio of frozen brands, including Birds Eye, Healthy Choice, Marie Callender's and more, will be 100% free from FD&C colors by the end of 2025."

Additionally, Conagra will continue its portfolio modernization efforts across its full U.S. retail portfolio and will not offer products with FD&C colors sold to K-12 schools by the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year. The company is also working to discontinue the use of FD&C colors in the manufacturing of products across its U.S. retail portfolio by the end of 2027.

With more than 100 years of history, Conagra has regularly adapted to evolving consumer interests. The company's innovation strategy is fueled by the understanding of consumers' priorities as they relate to food. Many consumers are looking for foods that support their health and wellness goals, fit their diverse lifestyles, and provide for their nutritional needs. Conagra's focus on affordable, convenient nutrition helps support consumer access to a variety of food groups including whole vegetables, portion-controlled frozen meals, whole grain popcorn, and quality protein. Brands like Birds Eye®, with many of its innovative frozen vegetable options, and Healthy Choice®, with a variety of healthy meals, support consumers' nutritional goals and healthy eating patterns. Conagra also provides a range of other products to meet consumers' diverse nutritional needs, including Gardein® and Purple Carrot® vegan products, UDI's® and Glutino® gluten-free products, Hunts® and Rotel® tomatoes, and Rosarita® and Ranch-Style® beans.

Earlier this year, Conagra launched the "On Track" badge on select Healthy Choice products, indicating that the products are high in protein, low calorie, and a good source of fiber, which make these items "GLP-1 friendly." Healthy Choice was the first major food brand to call out "GLP-1 Friendly" on the package.
