J.M. Smucker Co. plans to eliminate artificial colors from all its products by the end of 2027 and from foods sold to K-12 schools by the 2026–2027 school year.

While most Smucker products are already free of synthetic dyes, some, like sugar-free jams, ice cream toppings, and Hostess snacks, still contain them.

Smucker joins other major food companies, including Nestle, Conagra, Kraft Heinz, and General Mills, in pledging to phase out synthetic dyes amid growing federal scrutiny and recent regulatory actions, NPR has reported.
