NEW YORK (AP) — Take another look at that food label. An ingredient or two may have vanished.


As Americans pay closer attention to what they eat, food and beverage companies are learning that funny sounding ingredients can invite criticism from online petitions and bloggers. The risk of damaging publicity has proven serious enough that some manufacturers have reformulated top-selling products to remove mysterious, unpronounceable components that could draw suspicion.


Earlier this year, for example, PepsiCo Inc. said it would stop using brominated vegetable oil in Gatorade and find a another way to evenly distribute color in the sports drink. Last year, Starbucks said it would stop using a red dye made of crushed bugs based on comments it received "through a variety of means," including an online petition, and switch to a tomato-based extract. Kraft Foods plans to replace artificial dyes with colors derived from natural spices in select varieties of its macaroni and cheese, a nod to the feedback it's hearing from parents.


Ali Dibadj, a Bernstein analyst who covers the packaged food and beverage industry, says the changes reflect a shift from "democratization to activism" by consumers.


"It used to be that people would just decide not to buy the product. Now they're actually agitating for change," Dibadj said. "There's a bullhorn — which is the Internet — so you can get a lot of people involved very quickly."


Companies stand by the safety of their old recipes. Although they don't typically provide details on production decisions, their reasons for using certain ingredients can include cost and manufacturing efficiencies.


Still, food and beverage makers can be sensitive about broadcasting any changes. Chick-fil-A, for instance, has been removing artificial dyes and high-fructose corn syrup from its dressings and sauces. The Atlanta-based chain is also testing a "clean ingredient bun" but has not alerted customers.


"The reason companies don't publicize it is that they don't want to bring attention to these ingredients. They want to slowly start to remove them until they're all gone," said Vani Hari, who runs the site FoodBabe.com and has pressured companies to remove artificial dyes and other ingredients.


There are no numbers tracking how many companies are reformulating products in response to consumer demand. But even if recipe changes aren't in direct response to petitions or blogs, executives understand that ingredients can become a liability once they fall out of favor with the public.



High-fructose corn syrup, for example, has gained a negative image in recent years and has been blamed for fueling bad eating habits. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a health advocacy group, says the sweetener is no more harmful than ordinary sugar in large amounts. But Kroger Co. decided to remove it from store-brand cereals following surveys with consumers in 2011.


The supermarket chain isn't alone. Over the past decade, the use of high-fructose corn syrup in packaged foods and drinks has fallen 18 percent to 6.1 million tons last year, according to market researcher Euromonitor International.


The latest moves to swap out ingredients underscore the growing sway consumers have through sites such as Change.org, which lets people post petitions.


In the past, a customer complaint about an ingredient may have been addressed with a boilerplate letter from corporate headquarters. But now people can go online to share their concerns with thousands of like-minded individuals.


John Boeheim, of New York's Hudson Valley, says he avoids a number of ingredients, including the artificial sweetener aspartame and a red dye, in large part because of what he's read on blogs and social media.


"We've taught our kids to look at the labels, to look at the ingredients," Boeheim said.


Companies are paying attention too. Chick-fil-A says it will continue to improve ingredients to keep up with changing tastes and even invited Hari to spend the day at its headquarters sharing her concerns.


Not all companies are making changes, at least not right away. The Mississippi teenager who called for the removal of brominated vegetable oil in Gatorade, for instance, is now taking aim at Coca-Cola's Powerade, which also contains the ingredient in select varieties. As of Tuesday, Sarah Kavanagh's petition had more than 57,000 supporters.


In a statement, Coca-Cola stood by the safety of its drink but said the company is "always looking for ways to evolve" its formulas.


Another petition that asks Mars Inc. to remove artificial colors from M&Ms had more than 141,000 signatures. In an emailed statement, the privately held company stressed the safety of its ingredients.


Although it has not announced any changes, the company noted that it continues to explore the use of naturally sourced colors and that it is "constantly evaluating" its ingredients based on a variety of factors, including consumer preference.

  • Chocolatey Cereal


    We've written before about a big problem with cereal: Many brands, particularly those marketed to kids, are <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/07/cereals-sugar_n_1132025.html" target="_hplink">packed with added sugars</a>. But many also have lengthy ingredients lists, like <a href="http://www.reesespuffs.com/" target="_hplink">Reese's Puffs Cereal</a>, with up to 27 ingredients, <a href="http://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=10002&productId=374472" target="_hplink">according to Wegmans</a>:

  • Cheez Whiz


    We're always a little skeptical of food products that change the spelling of <em>real</em> foods. It can be, like <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2011/02/03/the-chicken-wyngz-controversy/" target="_hplink">in the case of Wyngz</a>, a convenient way to bypass laws as to what can and cannot be called a certain food. This "cheezy," dip-like spread <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cheez-Whiz-Squeeze-15-Ounce-Tubes/dp/B000W7R842/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1334936134&sr=1-2-catcorr" target="_hplink">lists 27 ingredients</a>:

  • Oreo Cakesters


    Many curious cooks have taken to their own kitchens to try to replicate the taste of the <a href="http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20030515&slug=erik150" target="_hplink">Oreo's mysterious creamy filling</a>, and the cookie has even been the subject of a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/05/14/oreo.suit/" target="_hplink">lawsuit over trans fats</a>.

    The original Oreo contains <a href="http://www.nabiscoworld.com/Brands/ProductInformation.aspx?BrandKey=ritz&Site&Product=4400000820" target="_hplink">20 ingredients</a>, and cocoa is only 13th on the list. But Nabisco has gone even further with the <a href="http://www.nabiscoworld.com/Brands/ProductInformation.aspx?BrandKey=oreo&Site=1&Product=4400002706" target="_hplink">Cakester</a>, a doughy cousin of the Oreo cookie, which has up to 28 ingredients:

    <blockquote>Sugar, canola and/or palm and/or palm kernel oil, bleached enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate {vitamin B1}, riboflavin {vitamin B2}, folic acid), high fructose corn syrup, fructose, skim milk, cocoa (processed with alkali), cornstarch, leavening (baking soda and/or sodium acid pyrophosphate and/or calcium phosphate), egg whites, salt, chocolate, corn syrup, natural and artificial flavor, soy lecithin, eggs, corn flour, sodium alginate</blockquote>

  • Frozen Waffles


    A whole-grain waffle with fruit can make a great breakfast, but the processed and frozen varieties are a far-cry from whipping up a homemade batch. <a href="http://www.kelloggs.com/en_US/kelloggs-eggo-blueberry-waffles.html" target="_hplink">Blueberry Eggos</a> have up to 29 ingredients, according to Kellogg's:

    <blockquote>Enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, vitamin B1 [thiamin mononitrate], vitamin B2 [riboflavin], folic acid), water, vegetable oil (soybean, palm, and/or canola oil), eggs, sugar, dextrose, contains 2 percent or less of leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), modified corn starch, salt, dried blueberries, apple fiber, natural and artificial flavors, maltodextrin, cellulose gum, citric acid, whey, soy lecithin, blue 2 lake, red 40 lake</blockquote>
    However, they do have one redeeming ingredient: dried blueberries. Many processed and packaged foods that <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jan/20/news/la-heb-fake-blueberries-20110120" target="_hplink">claim they contain fruit</a> really just <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2011/01/20/133089144/fake-blueberries-often-masquerade-as-real-fruit" target="_hplink">dress up sugar with artificial colors</a>, according to a 2011 report.

We know you wouldn't go looking for nutrition behind a Snicker's wrapper, but the <a href="http://www.snickers.com/default.htm" target="_hplink">Peanut Butter version</a> has 30 ingredients:

    <blockquote>Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate, skim milk, lactose, milkfat, soy lecithin, artificial flavor), peanut butter (peanuts, partially hydrogenated soybean oil), peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, lactose, invert sugar, corn syrup solids, vegetable oil (hydrogenated palm kernel oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil and cottonseed oil and/or partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil), less than 2 percent - dextrose, glycerin, skim milk, salt, calcium carbonate, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, egg whites, artificial flavor, TBHQ to maintain freshness</blockquote>

  • Big Mac Sauce


    It's probably not surprising that a Big Mac is <a href="http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/getnutrition/ingredientslist.pdf" target="_hplink">not made from a handful of simple ingredients</a>. But what is surprising is that there are 33 ingredients in Big Mac <em>sauce</em> alone:

    <blockquote>Soybean oil, pickle relish [diced pickles, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, vinegar, corn syrup, salt, calcium chloride, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate (preservative), spice extractives, polysorbate 80], distilled vinegar, water, egg yolks, high fructose corn syrup, onion powder, mustard seed, salt, spices, propylene glycol alginate, sodium benzoate (preservative), mustard bran, sugar, garlic powder, vegetable protein (hydrolyzed corn, soy and wheat), caramel color, extractives of paprika, soy lecithin, turmeric (color), calcium disodium EDTA</blockquote>
    And don't forget -- there's up to another 33 in the bun and 14 in the cheese, for a total well over the 70 or so ingredients in the <a href="http://consumerist.com/2011/11/whats-a-mcrib-made-of.html" target="_hplink">famously-processed McRib</a>.

  • Combos


    There are a couple of tip-offs to these cheesy, crunchy snacks' lengthy ingredient lists on the front of the packaging, like how the Cheddar Cheese Pretzel flavor qualifies in small print that it is, in fact, a cheddar cheese "flavored filling." While all the flavors have around 30 ingredients, the <a href="http://combos.com/" target="_hplink">Pepperoni Pizza Cracker flavor</a> upsets us the most, with up to 38 ingredients, one of which is beef fat:

    <blockquote>Wheat flour, vegetable oil (palm kernel oil, palm oil, corn oil and/or hydrogenated palm oil), whey, maltodextrin, food starch-modified, salt, less than 1.5 percent - tomato, cream, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate), dextrose, bakers & cheddar cheese (milk, cultures, salt, enzymes), natural and artificial flavors, soy lecithin, spices, coloring (yellow 6 lake, red 40 lake), paprika, onion, yeast extract, garlic, parsley, beef fat, citric acid, malic acid, yeast, sugar, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, vinegar, paprika extract</blockquote>

  • Pringles


    While <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/04/salt-in-food_n_1398150.html" target="_hplink">potato chips</a> certainly aren't the benchmark of good health, it <em>is</em> possible to make them with simple ingredients.

    Part of the problem boils down to those outlandish flavors. Original Pringles have 11 ingredients -- but the <a href="http://www.pringles.com/products/flavors" target="_hplink">Loaded Baked Potato</a> flavor has up to 43:

    <blockquote>Dried potatoes, vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following: corn oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil and/or sunflower oil), corn flour, wheat starch and maltodextrin. Contains 2 percent or less of: rice flour, whey powder, salt, partially hydrogenated sunflower oil, cream powder, dextrose, monosodium glutamate, buttermilk powder, gum arabic, natural and artificial flavor, garlic powder, nonfat dry milk, onion powder, spice, sodium caseinate, yellow 6 lake, smoke flavoring, medium chain triglycerides, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, yellow 5 lake, mono and diglycerides, autolyzed yeast extract, safflower oil, torula yeast, butterfat, cheddar cheese (milk, cultures, salt, enzymes), dehydrated butter (cream, salt), and onion juice concentrate</blockquote>

  • Breakfast Bars


    Fruit, yogurt, whole grains and fiber sounds like a complete breakfast, but Nutri-Grain bars are rounded out with a few dozen extra ingredients. The <a href="http://www.nutrigrain.com/product-detail.aspx?product=360" target="_hplink">Strawberry Yogurt flavor</a> clocks in at 56:

    <blockquote>Crust: Whole grain oats, enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, vitamin B1 [thiamin mononitrate], vitamin B2 [riboflavin], folic acid), whole wheat flour, high fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, soluble corn fiber, sugar, calcium carbonate, whey, wheat bran, salt, cellulose, potassium bicarbonate, mono- and diglycerides, soy lecithin, natural and artificial flavor, wheat gluten, niacinamide, vitamin A palmitate, carrageenan, zinc oxide, reduced iron, guar gum, vitamin B6, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, folic acid. Filling: High fructose corn syrup, glycerin, fructose, modified corn starch, partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil, nonfat yogurt powder (cultured nonfat milk; heat-treated after culturing), cellulose, strawberry puree concentrate, modified tapioca starch, sugar, malic acid, natural and artificial flavor, salt, color added, datem, mono- and diglycerides, soy lecithin, caramel color, red 40</blockquote>

  • Meatless Nuggets


    "We still eat way more meat than is good for us or the environment, not to mention the animals," Mark Bittman wrote in the <em>New York Times</em> in January, but <a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/were-eating-less-meat-why/" target="_hplink">we're eating less than we used to</a>.

    Cutting back -- especially on red meat -- can help you <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22412075" target="_hplink">avoid cancer, heart disease and live longer</a>, according to a March study.

    However, it's important to turn to another source of protein wisely. Some soy products were found to contain a <a href="http://www.eatingwell.com/blogs/health_blog/why_veggie_burgers_aren_t_always_a_healthy_choice" target="_hplink">potentially-harmful neurotoxin</a>, and imitation meat is often highly-processed to give it that "tastes like chicken" texture. <a href="http://www.morningstarfarms.com/morningstar-farms-chikn-nuggets.html" target="_hplink">MorningStar Farms Chik'n Nuggets</a>, for example, contain an eye-popping 59 ingredients:

    <blockquote>Textured vegetable protein (soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, wheat gluten, water for hydration), water, enriched wheat flour (flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), bleached wheat flour, corn oil, cornstarch, contains 2 percent or less of wheat starch, salt, methylcellulose, modified corn starch, dextrose, autolyzed yeast extract, potassium chloride, natural and artificial flavors from non-meat sources, sugar, maltodextrin, disodium inosinate, soybean oil, hydrolyzed soy protein, onion, paprika, dried yeast, inulin from chicory root, caramel color, tapioca dextrin, xanthan gum, sodium alginate, spices, yellow corn flour, paprika extract for color, annatto extract for color, baking soda, garlic, tomato powder, celery extract, wheat fiber, lactic acid, safflower oil, barley extract, citric acid, niacinamide, egg whites, nonfat dry milk, succinc acid, disodium guanylate, iron, thiamin mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloridae, riboflavin, vitamin B12</blockquote>

The <a href="http://www.kraftbrands.com/lunchables/ourproducts/default.aspx?navID=lunchables-with-juice&lineID=true" target="_hplink">Ham + American Cracker Stackers</a> box has up to 61, according to Kraft Brands:
