Dunkin’ Donuts says it’s removed artificial dyes from its doughnuts nationwide, part of an effort to offer simpler ingredients and cut artificial dyes across its U.S. lineup of foods and drinks by the end of 2018, according to a blog post from the chain.
In the post, Rick Golden, Dunkin’ Brands manager of donut excellence, said the artificial dyes in doughnuts were replaced with fruit juices and other extracts.

The post said exceptions include select supplier-branded ingredients produced by other companies that are used as toppings or decorative elements.
