Minnesota-based General Mills says it will remove artificial coloring from all of its products in the next two years.

The company said Tuesday that 85% of its retail products and "nearly all" of its school offerings are already made without "certified colors."

It will excise the dyes from all of its cereals and school products by summer of 2026, and the rest of its lineup by the end of 2027. General Mills' brands include Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Cheerios and a variety of other popular cereals, though the company did not say which brands actually contain artificial dyes.
