They'll find that the sales of some items like Kraft Dinner will plummet because people associate the flavor with the day-glo orange food coloring. Other things won't be as noticeable and they'll expand their markets.

This isn't caving to health food purists in the US. It's caving to food regulations in a lot of Europe.
