Dec 7, 2024, 08:04 PM
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reportedly nearing a decision on a potential ban of Red No. 3, a synthetic dye linked to cancer risks. This move, expected within the next few weeks, could significantly impact the food and beverage industry, affecting products such as candies, sodas, and cakes that utilize this artificial coloring. The FDA's deputy commissioner for human food, Jim Jones, discussed the matter during a recent Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee meeting, indicating that the agency is taking steps to address health concerns associated with artificial food dyes. If enacted, this ban could revolutionize American diets by eliminating a common ingredient found in many popular snacks and beverages.
