The Big List of Dye-Free Snacks Including Chips, Fruit Snacks, and Yogurt to name a few.
1. Bars:
2. Chips:
Most brands of plain potato chips are free from food dyes. Just be sure to double-check the label.
We love these veggie straws! They come in 7 different flavors including sea salt, ranch, and cheddar. I love the original sea salt flavor, but I know many of you are looking for a dye-free hot chip, and this one fits the bill!
3. Crackers:
Although Cheez-It 'original' crackers are free from artificial dyes, it's worth noting they use Annatto for coloring. Additionally, these crackers contain TBHQ, a synthetic food ingredient some prefer to avoid.
The Wheat Thins Original version is free of Red Dye 40.
4. Cookies:
The Classic version is free from Red Dye 40 but it is important to note that there are many artificial ingredients in these cookies and some parents suspect they also trigger a reaction similar to that of Red Dye 40.
All Simple Mills products are free of food dyes.
5. Fruit Snacks:
Kids love them and depending on the brand fruit snacks can be loaded with food dyes. These are some of our favorite fruit snacks.
These fruit snacks are made by Kroger for their organic Simple Truth line, which is free from artificial food dyes.
6. Popcorn:
Steer clear of microwave popcorn, not just because of dyes but all of the added chemicals they use to make those little bags “pop” and taste good. The exception to the rule is if you use a glass microwave popper click on the link to learn more. Some of our favorite dye-free popcorn brands are Pirates Booty, SkinnyPop popcorn and Smartfood White Cheddar popcorn.
7. Pretzels:
Most pretzels do not contain synthetic food dyes but its still worth double-checking the labels. Remember food dyes are often listed toward the middle to end of the ingredient list.
Simple Truth the Kroger organic brand, features a variety of dye-free pretzels, including the Sunflower Butter stuffed pretzels pictured here. These are perfect for kids with nut allergies.
Double-check each specific version, but as far as I can tell they are all free from artificial food dyes.
8. Yogurt:
Sadly, yogurts also sometimes contain artificial dyes. Here is a list of our favorite dye-free yogurts including; Chobani Greek yogurt, GoGo Squeez, GoGurt, Good and Gather (Target brand) Yogurt pouches, Happy Baby Organics Yogis, and Stonyfield Yogurt.
