- Texas AG Ken Paxton reached a settlement with WK Kellogg Co. (Kellogg’s) and General Mills Inc. (General Mills) requiring the companies to remove synthetic dyes from their cereal products served in schools ahead of the 2026 school year.
- AG Paxton first secured a settlement with General Mills in 2025, which was later followed by a similar settlement with Kellogg’s. These settlements followed a months-long investigation into the safety of certain ingredients in cereal products.
- Both companies have now removed the dyes from K-12 cereals and will now use alternative colorings derived from fruit and vegetable juices. The agreements also require Kellogg’s and General Mills to permanently remove artificial food colorings from all cereal products in the entire United States by the end of 2027.
