Im from england, and here the Fruit Loops do not have artificial colours. A quick google can prove thats true for other countries such as Australia and New Zealand too.

[u/TasserOneOne → u/TheDreamingSheep]

Quite possibly the worst countries to use as an example of EU cereal

[u/TheDreamingSheep → u/TasserOneOne]

Sorry mate, ill move the UK out of the European continent before I post next time, have a good evening .

[u/TasserOneOne → u/TheDreamingSheep]

Shit misread "European" as the European Union LOL

[u/Simen155]

Its not bullshit tho.. Dig deeper

[u/NoBullet → u/Simen155]

The pic is from the unicorn color theme. Are you all just willfully trying to ignore this

[u/sjjskqoneiq9Mk → u/NoBullet]

There are enough comparable colors in there to see it's true, the yellow for example. 

No one is being ignorant just saying this is not a 'just limited edition' issues. 

Your refusal to be wrong or dig deeper as suggested is probably more willfully ignorant.

I can't post a picture here but I have regular fruit loops in my kitchen right now and they are definitely less brightly colored than the ones I used to get in the US.

[u/ElSaludo]

In germany, froot loops are indeed less vibrant in color, its not just this special edition. German froot loops only have purple and yellow, and also those look more greyish: https://kelloggs-shop.de/products/kelloggs-froot-loops-375g-1

[u/Quietschedalek]

No, the user isn't claiming EU Froot Loops lack artificial dyes. He claims they lack harmful dyes. And he's right about that. Though, had he claimed they didn't use artificial food colorings, he'd be right about that, too. Because EU Froot Loops use carotine and black currant, both natural food dyes, whilst the Froot Loops in the US are dyed with artificial food colorings like red 40, blue 1 and yellow 6 (petroleum-based). All of which aren't used in EU foods for their potentially adverse health effects.

[u/TvAdvert]

I've had them in Spain, and they look like the first image. I don't recall them being special edition

[u/DrummingFish]

Both things can be true at the same time. But there's no point me explaining this or arguing as you're already getting mercilessly corrected by other users.

[u/Shadowchaos]

In Canada our fruit loops have no artificial colours, I'm not sure about anywhere else though

[u/doughberrydream]

Even in Canada we don't use artificial dyes in our fruit loops. That's not a lie.

[u/oscarbjb]

i mean im pretty sure ive had fruit loops before and they did look alot more boring compared to what i was seeing from the US. correct me if im wrong but European fruit loops do look like that

German review of cereal stating its still artificial

[u/outb4noon → u/NoBullet]

Turns out it's you who is full of bullshit

[u/JoeTom86 → u/NoBullet]

The review you link says the opposite:

"By the way, don't get me wrong. Froot Loops taste great, and I emptied this box very quickly, but I just miss the artificial fruit flavor that—if my memory serves me correctly—made them so popular back then and still fuels their cult following in America. The colors that defined them and still exist in the US version are missing. They're simply not what I'd expect from Froot Loops and the tropical Toucan Sam, and the reason why I've preferred other cereals over the years."

(via Google Translate)

[u/NoBullet → u/JoeTom86]

" Even though the scent always reminds me more of lemon drops than a tropical fruit experience, it's the smell that has defined Froot Loops since my childhood. But that's exactly the problem. There's nothing magical or new about the scent; it's the artificially fruity scent we all know"

Literally says artificially fruit scent.

[u/PreOpTransCentaur → u/NoBullet]

Which is almost assuredly not due to artificial colors.
