The rollout signals progress on General Mills’ plan to drop artificial colors from its U.S. cereals.

Overview

  • General Mills, which announced Thursday, will roll out Lucky Charms Unicorn Cotton Candy and Tropical Trix featuring Disney’s Moana nationwide this summer.
  • Lucky Charms Unicorn Cotton Candy uses colors from natural sources and is a gluten-free, cotton candy–flavored cereal with three unicorn marshmallows that provides 19 grams of whole grain plus added vitamins and minerals.
  • Tropical Trix featuring Disney’s Moana is a Disney collaboration with a fruit-forward tropical flavor, uses colors from natural sources, and provides key vitamins, minerals and calcium.
  • General Mills says it remains on track to remove certified artificial colors from its U.S. cereal portfolio by summer 2026 and from its full U.S. retail portfolio by the end of 2027.
  • Coverage from LaughingPlace notes the Trix launch lines up with Disney’s live-action Moana opening on July 10, 2026, which could lift in-aisle visibility through cross-promotion.
