Why We Chose to Avoid Artificial Food Dyes

When we created Ummy Shakes, our priority was making something kids love while keeping it wholesome and nutritious. That meant being mindful of ingredients—especially when it came to artificial food dyes.

Research has raised concerns about artificial food dyes, with some studies suggesting links to hyperactivity in children and potential allergic reactions. While regulations vary across different countries, we wanted to ensure that our shakes offered a naturally colorful and delicious experience without relying on synthetic additives.

A Thoughtful Approach to Ingredients

At Ummy Shakes, we made a conscious decision to use natural ingredients and plant-based colorings. Whether it’s the rich cocoa in our chocolate flavors or the vibrant hues from real berries, every color in our shakes comes from nature—bringing both great taste and peace of mind.

The government has recently banned Red 3 due to health concerns, but we didn’t need to wait for that decision to act. From the start, we chose to exclude artificial dyes, ensuring that our products align with what we believe is best for families.

Prioritizing Health and Transparency

We believe that what goes into a product is just as important as how it tastes. Our approach has always been about listening to parents, staying informed, and making choices that align with our commitment to high-quality ingredients.

Parents deserve transparency and the ability to trust what they’re giving their children. With Ummy Shakes, you can feel confident that every sip is free from artificial dyes, artificial flavors, and unnecessary additives. We are dedicated to providing a delicious and natural option for families who value simple, wholesome ingredients.

By focusing on what truly matters, we aim to make childhood a little healthier and a lot more fun—one shake at a time.
