U.S. regulators, through the FDA, have banned the dye Red 3 from food products, citing potential cancer risks based on studies conducted on laboratory rats.
The FDA's decision comes 35 years after it was banned in cosmetics due to similar health concerns, marking an important shift in food safety regulation.
Consumer advocates hailed the FDA’s ban on Red 3 as a major victory for public health, although they acknowledged it was a belated but necessary action.
Officials have provided until January 2027 for food manufacturers and January 2028 for drug manufacturers to comply with the new regulations against Red 3.
