From Candy to Controversy: The FDA’s Ban on Red Dye No 3
On January 15, 2025, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made a landmark decision to ban the use of Red Dye No 3 in food, dietary supplements, and some over-the-counter medications. This decision comes more than 30 years after the dye was first restricted in cosmetics and topical drugs due to cancer concerns.
