Episode Details

M&M’s is ditching artificial dyes this summer, ditching blue and brown candies for now — but don’t panic, the classic six-color mix is coming back naturally by 2028. After years of research, Mars found ways to recreate red, yellow, orange, and green with natural ingredients, but blue and brown proved too costly and complex to replicate. Executives called it a “daunting task” to change an 85-year-old icon, but they’re committed to cleaner ingredients — and you can still grab the natural versions online. This move mirrors similar shifts in Skittles and Starburst, showing a bigger trend toward healthier candy.
