Over half of Canadians follow a plant-based lifestyle or seek to add more plant-based offerings to their diets. This shift has prompted brands to innovate, leading many to wonder, "Is KD plant-based?" While the classic Kraft Dinner is not, a new vegan alternative has hit the market to satisfy these growing demands.

Following a major consumer petition in 2013, Kraft announced it would remove artificial dyes like tartrazine (Yellow 5) from its mac and cheese products. Many people still wonder: does KD have tartrazine? The simple answer is no, but the journey to a dye-free product is an important part of its history.

According to corporate announcements made in 2015, the popular boxed macaroni and cheese known as KD (Kraft Dinner) no longer contains tartrazine (Yellow 5), removing a synthetic dye that had been used for years. This change was a direct response to consumer campaigns advocating for the removal of artificial colors and preservatives from the product.
