What foods use Red Dye No. 3? What to know about the newly banned food coloring

^{Published on 2025-01-17 11:23:11 - Today}

Red Dye No. 3, also known as erythrosine, is a synthetic food dye that gives foods and drinks a bright red color. It is also sometimes used in oral medicines and dietary supplements. It first was approved for use in food in 1907. It's made from petroleum.

The article from Today.com discusses the controversy surrounding Red Dye No. 3, a food coloring used in various products like Peeps, Hot Tamales, and certain Betty Crocker sprinkles. Despite being banned from cosmetics due to cancer risks in 1990, Red Dye No. 3 remains legal in food, sparking concerns among health advocates and some lawmakers. The FDA has not banned it from food due to insufficient evidence linking it to human cancer, but recent petitions and legislative efforts, including a bill introduced by Rep. Josh Gottheimer, aim to ban it from food products. This push comes amidst growing consumer awareness and demand for safer food additives, with companies like Just Born Quality Confections, which makes Peeps, defending their use of the dye by citing compliance with current regulations. However, the debate continues as more research and public pressure mount for its removal from the food supply.
