Yum! Brands, Inc. subsidiary Pizza Hut says it will remove additional artificial ingredients from its food by the end of 2017. The announcement comes roughly one year after the national pizza chain cut artificial flavors and colors from its pizzas and removed 2.5 million pounds of salt from ints ingredients over the last five years.
Now, the company—which operates 6,400 restaurants in the US—will remove preservatives BHA and BHT from its meats by the end of 2016. Pizza Hut will also remove artificial preservatives from its cheese by March 2017 and chicken used for its pizzas will be free of human antibiotics by next year.
