M&M’s without artificial dyes are coming soon, but two iconic colors will be left out
Mars will sell dye-free M&M’s through Amazon, with blue and brown omitted because production costs and safety issues remain, the company said.
- Starting this summer, Mars will debut candies made without artificial dyes, sold through Amazon. Two iconic colors will be absent from the new product lineup.
- Mars is one of 27 companies pledging to remove artificial additives as part of the Make America Healthy Again initiative. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pushing manufacturers to phase out specific petroleum-based dyes.
- Blue candies will remain excluded from the initial release due to production complications. That specific coloring caused issues with company sprayers, creating potential safety hazards, while natural production remains too costly.

- Mars has spent millions researching affordable natural coloring methods to ensure all products meet new standards. The company plans to restore the full spectrum of colors by 2028.
