As Heathier, more natural products increasingly resonate with consumer preference (https://cen.acs.org/articles/95/i31/The-long-road-to-all-natural-preservatives.html), food and beverage companies begin to phase out artificial ingredients in their offerings. Popular artificial preservatives such as calcium/sodium propionate, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate have been banned or not used by quite a few notable food companies in USA. Here is a incomplete list of companies who banned artificial preservatives. We will continue updating the list when new information is available.
