Papa John’s International Inc. said it removed artifical flavors and synthetic colors from its menu in a Tuesday release. The announcement comes after the company announced in December that it will use antibiotic-free chicken in its pizzas and Poppers starting this summer. The company has already committed to no fillers in its core meat toppings, no MSG or partially hydrogenated oils, and the removal of other chemicals and trans-fats in its foods. Papa John’s shares, up 2.2% in morning trading, are down 28.7% over the past three months. The S&P is down 3.9% during that period.
