M&M’s, Skittles, and some of the world’s most popular colorful candies will be made without artificial colors in the United States next year.

Candy manufacturer Mars Wrigley North America quietly announced the move last month, saying the products would be made available online across the country.

“Brands that will soon have options made without FD&C colors: M&M’s Chocolate, Skittles Original, Extra Gum Spearmint and Starburst Original fruit chews,” the company said.

Mars Wrigley is slated to announce further commitments to complying with the Trump administration’s push to “Make America Healthy Again.”

“When we have identified fully effective, scalable solutions across the entire portfolio, we will share additional item commitments and timelines,” it said.
