Mike And Ike candies are a popular fruity treat that contain the artificial dye Tartrazine, which adds vibrant color to their fun, chewy pieces. While they offer a deliciously sweet and fruity flavor, consumers who prefer to avoid artificial dyes should be aware of their presence. Enjoy these candies for their bright appearance and classic taste, but consider dye-free options if avoiding artificial ingredients is a priority.
