The FDA has banned the use of FD&C Red No. 3 (erythrosine) in food and oral medications, responding to long-standing concerns about its carcinogenic risks.
Red No. 3 has been linked to hyperactivity in children and previously banned in cosmetics due to cancer risks, leading to its recent food restrictions.
Countries like Austria and France have already implemented bans on Red No. 3 and other artificial dyes, highlighting a growing international trend toward food safety.
In 2023, California banned harmful chemicals, including Red No. 3, while some common products still contain this controversial dye despite its dangerous history.
