The formula changed.
PIM Brands / Welch's Fruit Snacks completed artificial-dye removal across the portfolio in early 2026 (FDA tracker Complete). Mixed Fruit was one of the final two classics to convert; the current manufacturer product page lists annatto, turmeric, and fruit and vegetable juice for color with no Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, or Blue 1. Older pouches can remain until inventory clears.
