Target: Kraft Foods Executive Chairman, John Cahill
Goal: Thank Kraft Foods for removing preservatives from single slice cheeses
Kraft Foods has decided to remove artificial preservatives from its most popular wrapped cheese products, Kraft Singles American cheese varieties. Now that brands have come under major attack by nutritionists, Kraft has decided to change its manufacturing methods. Kraft has begun using a natural ingredient in its cheeses called natamycin, which is a “natural mold inhibitor,” replacing the artificial ingredient, sorbic acid.
Kraft Foods states that its decision to change its cheese recipe is due to an increasing number of Americans demanding more natural and nutritious foods. Consumers are now demanding less artificial ingredients than ever before. The adjustments took a couple of years to construct because Kraft wanted to make sure that the product still tasted the same and had the same shelf life.
The new Kraft cheeses are labeled with a red-colored sticker saying that they have no artificial preservatives or flavorings added to them. Kraft claims that it hasn’t used artificial colors for years but is now putting emphasis on it for its heath-conscious consumers. The company plans on expanding it to its other products as well.
Please sign this petition to thank Kraft for removing artificial preservatives from its most popular cheese products.
