Lucky Charms contains Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Blue 1. These are petroleum-derived synthetic dyes. In April 2025, the FDA and HHS formally announced a plan to phase all six petroleum-based synthetic dyes out of the US food supply by the end of 2026. The EU has required a warning label on any product containing these same dyes since 2009: "may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children." Lucky Charms sold in the US carries no such warning today.
