In-N-Out Burger has announced a major menu switch, changing the ingredients of a few of its beverages.
"As part of our ongoing commitment to providing our customers with the highest-quality ingredients, we have removed artificial coloring from our Strawberry Shakes and Signature Pink Lemonade," Patty Pena, a spokesperson for the California-based burger joint, confirmed to Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
"We’re also in the process of transitioning to an upgraded ketchup, which is made with real sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup," Pena said.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called out sugar during the agency's announcement on the artificial dye ban.

Seems like sugar could be handled as a liquid too if it were dissolved in water.
That is true throughout Latin America.
They might want to take french fry lessons from the Australians. The food there is almost uniformly bad, beyond belief bland in most cases, with the notable exception of what they can do with potatoes. The french fries served down under and the potato fritters there are exceptionally good, better than anything we have here.
Asking for their fries ‘well done’ helps a little bit :)
That’s because In N Out doesn’t spray their fries with sugar water. That’s what every other fast food joint does, so you’re just not used to the taste. Ask them to double dip the fries if you want them crispier, but the “bland” flavor is your sugar addiction talking.
“Real ketchup, Eddie?”
“Nothing but the bast, Clark.”
Ooops, best.
I buy Mexicoke at Costco. Coke in glass bottles with cane sugar instead of HFCS. I don’t drink them (well, once in a blue moon), but keep them around for others. I mostly drink water or unsweetened iced tea.
I don’t believe that’s it - it’s not any underlying sweetness I’m missing. Rather, it’s texture and flavors - or lack of them. As bad as their burgers are, Five Guys makes terrific fries - their Cajun fries are outstanding. Thick cut, perfect texture when served hot, just the right amount of seasoning. If In-N-Out could just figure out how to make fries like that, they’d be the perfect fast food place. Everything else In-N-Out makes is outstanding.
“Next get soybean oil out of everything!!!”
And isn’t soy suspect in less manly men? Also in making females less able to become pregnant?
(Not sure — just things I’ve read in the past.)
We make our own ketchup from our own tomatoes. It tastes better than the stuff from the stores.
Mexico uses sugar also.
Why? Tallow is good. I remember when McDonald’s fries were cooked in tallow and they were the best...
Most fast food places here in the US can’t cook good french fries. The only way to eat them is to cover them in ketchum...
“And isn’t soy suspect in less manly men? Also in making females less able to become pregnant?”
Soybean oil contains none of the phytoestrogens that the beans or the meal made form the beans contain. Those are the compounds that males process into estrogen and it reduces testosterone the oil.has none of that effect. There is debate on mono saturated fatty acids vs poly or fully saturated. This applies to all seed oils not just soybean. Corn, canola,grapeseed, cotton seed all have the same fatty acids in them. Animal fats are triglycerides and free fatty acids.
