Nestle dropping artificial flavor and color from chocolate bars

Nestle says it will become the first major candy maker to eliminate all artificial color and flavors from its chocolates.

The change is expected to be completed by the end of the year and affect over 250 products, including Nestle Crunch, Butterfinger, 100 Grand, Oh Henry and Baby Ruth chocolate bars, according to CNNMoney.

"When making these changes to more than 75 recipes, maintaining the great taste and appearance consumers expect from the chocolate brands they know and love is our No. 1 priority," said Leslie Mohr, the nutrition, health and wellness manager for Nestle.

An example of the change is Crunch bars, in which natural vanilla flavor will replace artificial vanillin.
