Major food brand General Mills will remove all artificial dyes from its products by 2027, the company announced Tuesday.

The company also announced plans to remove “certified colors” from all of its American cereal brands and all of its products in school lunches by summer 2026, they said in a press release.

While General Mills claimed that 85 percent of its product line is already made without artificial colors, some of their most popular products still contain dyes.
