M&M's adopt natural dyes, dropping blue and brown from the lineup

M&M's will switch to natural dyes and remove blue and brown from their color lineup due to cost and production issues with spirulina-based blue dye; other colors will be dyed with natural sources like beets and turmeric, with an August rollout on Amazon for the new lineup (excluding blue and brown). Mars aims to reintroduce a natural blue and brown by 2028 after upgrading production lines; artificial-color versions will remain on shelves for now, reflecting a broader trend of dye changes across snacks.

"Vending Machine Error Exposes Student Surveillance Scandal"

Students at the University of Waterloo discovered that the M&M's vending machines on campus were equipped with facial recognition technology, prompting concerns about privacy. The machines, provided by Adaria Vending Services and owned by Mars, were found to be collecting data such as presence, estimated age, and gender without individual association. Despite assurances from the Invenda Group that the technology does not store or transmit personal data, the university has requested the machines to be removed and the software disabled. If not, a student plans to file a complaint with the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.
