Finally! FDA announces ban on Red No. 3 food dye. Why Now?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has banned Red No. 3, a dye that gives food and drink a bright, cherry-red color.

The removal is in response to a color additive petition filed in 2022 by advocates who claim the additive is linked to cancer and behavioral problems in children, USA TODAY reported. Manufacturers who use Red No. 3 in food and ingested drugs will have until either 2027 or 2028 to reformulate their products. According to the Environmental Working Group, over 3,000 products contain Red No. 3. USA Today published a list of some of the foods and drinks that contain Red No. 3. Those items include:

Candies like Pez Assorted Fruit, Brach's Candy Corn and Jelly Belly. Valentine's Day candy including Brach's iconic conversation hearts and the Favorite Day Cupid gummy box
Desserts and snacks like Entenmann's Little Bites Party Cake Mini Muffins, Betty Crocker Fruit by the Foot, Toaster pastries, and cookies with red icing or decorations.
Dairy and frozen foods include ice cream, frozen yogurt flavors, ice pops, and fruit bars.
Fruit products like Maraschino cherries and some fruit cocktails.
Beverages like strawberry-flavored milk, as well as some sodas and fruit drinks.
Medications like some cough syrups, gummy vitamins, and strawberry-flavored PediaSure.
