Lisa Leake and Vani Hari are the two gathering signatures asking Kraft to stop coloring one of America’s all time favorite comfort foods.
The two food bloggers say the dyes can trigger everything from allergies to hyperactivity and learning disabilities in children.
In particular the pair wants an end to the use of Yellow #5 and Yellow #6, both are already banned or strongly discouraged in Europe.
There are concerns that the pair may also have a hand in causing certain cancers.
Leake and Hari point out that Kraft came up with a nearly identical product for that market and they want it brought across the pond.
Kraft has responded by saying that safety and quality are "our highest priority."
The bloggers shoot back and ask why the company uses an ingredient that has a warning label when used in Europe.
The two say they have collected over 148,000 signatures to present to the company.
See their video below and decide yourself.
