My daughter loves fruit snacks so I was glad that you can find some without color-dye. Brach's Motts has fruit snacks that are made from natural color. Also, Fruitabu has organic fruit leather and organic smooshed fruits. Annie's also makes an organic all natural fruit snacks. Kroger has an organic food section that carries them.

You can buy color dye free children's medicine. Benodryl comes in dye-free liquid. Walgreens has a dye-free children's Ibuprofen. Little Colds has a honey elixir for cough and sore throats. I have also heard that you can ask your doctor for a dye-free liquid antibiotic. Read your labels. Most medicines do have color dye. Check your cough drops too. I like Walgreens brand medicines. They are cheaper and they have a good selection with dye-free choices.

To my surprise some brands of pickles have Yellow 5 in them. Check labels on your relishes too.

Pepperidge Farms original Goldfish Crackers do not use color dyes. They use a natural color. However, it is only the original flavor. The rainbow and ranch flavored do use color dyes. Most of the other cheddar flavored crackers and Ritz type crackers do use Yellow 5.

Marshmallows may be white but most brands do have Yellow 5 in them. I have not checked but was told that Walmart Great Value Brand does not have any. Also heard that Dollar Tree had one that does not carry it either. You may even want to be creative and make your own. There are some good recipes for homemade ones on the internet.

Some brands of potato chips use Yellow 5 and some do not. Also, watch the barbecue and sour cream and onion ones. They may have Red 40. I love the kettle chips. I think they are better for you. Frito brand Fritos do not have color dyes. Pretzels are safe too. Cheese Puffs and Cheetos all have color dyes. Usually if it has a color to it, it has color dyes. Try white cheddar Cheese Puffs instead.

Kids love macaroni and cheese. Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and many others have Yellow 5 in them. I buy white cheddar macaroni and cheese. You have to mix it a little more than the regular kind though. I take the milk, cheese mix and margarine or butter and put it in a cup and microwave it for a minute or so. Stir it up really good and pour over the noodles when they are done. Reheat it all together. It works better that way. Annie's also has a regular macaroni and cheese that uses a natural color to color it instead of color dyes.

Microwave popcorn is fun to eat but many of them have Yellow 5 in them. Kroger has a natural microwave popcorn that is cheap and does not have dyes. It tastes great too. Again, always read the labels before buying. Some of the kettle corn has sugar substitutes in them so you need to look for that also. Cheddar popcorn usually has Yellow 5. Try white cheddar instead. Still, the best for you is to pop your own with an air popper.

Watch when buying pancake mix. A lot of them have Yellow 5 in them. Hungry Jack does have Yellow 5. I buy Kroger brand because it does not. I usually find the name brands use the color dyes. The same with frozen waffles. They also have Yellow 5. Again Kroger brand does not. Also watch your cereal labels. They use Red 40 in the chocolate cereals. Kroger has a version of Cocoa Krispies that does not have Red 40. I also use a lot of Walmart's Great Value brand. You still have to check the labels on Kroger and Great Value because some of their products do have the color dyes.
