Some of America’s most popular chocolate bars — including the Baby Ruth and the Butterfinger — are about to get an ingredient makeover.

Nestle USA announced it is removing artificial flavors and colorings from all of its chocolate candy products by the end of 2015.

Know that orange-like hue that colors the crunchy center of the bar? Currently, that color is made by combining synthetic dye Red 40 with Yellow 5. Soon, however, these dyes will be replaced with the natural coloring annatto.
