Key takeaway This change will affect popular cereals such as Froot Loops and Apple Jacks.
Kellogg has announced plans to remove artificial colors and the preservative BHT from its cereals by the end of 2026. This change will affect popular cereals such as Froot Loops and Apple Jacks. The company will replace artificial colors with natural alternatives derived from sources like fruit and vegetable juices.
