Pizza Hut is promising to make some big changes to the restaurant chain’s basket of ingredients, including the removal of preservatives from cheeses used for its pizzas and stripping out two key preservatives from meats on the menu.
On Tuesday, the chain, owned by Yum Brands, outlined four big changes to its list of ingredients that will occur starting this summer and continue through 2020. They are:
“When balancing any change we make to any of our products, we make sure the food still tastes good as it did before and we continue to provide the safest food out there,” Fox toldFortune.
Notable moves include the removal of artificial flavors and colors from the core pizza line last year, as well as a bid to take out 2.5 million pounds of salt from its ingredients over the last five years.
