FDA bans Red 3 dye from food due to cancer worries.
Reading
The U.S. government has banned the color Red 3 from food. This comes after it was found to cause cancer in rats.
Red 3 was already banned in cosmetics many years ago. A law called the Delaney Clause says any additive that causes cancer in animals must be banned from food.
Food companies have until 2027 to stop using Red 3. Drug companies have until 2028 to stop using it in medicines you swallow.
Many people are happy about this decision and say it is long overdue. Some food companies have already stopped using Red 3 and use other colors instead.
These other colors come from natural sources like beets and cabbage. This ban is important to protect people, especially children, from harmful things in their food.
