Summary
The FDA is considering banning Red No. 3 and potentially Red No. 40, artificial dyes used in food and beverages, amid growing safety concerns.
Red No. 3, already banned in cosmetics for being carcinogenic in high doses, has faced scrutiny over links to hyperactivity and behavioral issues in children.
While the FDA maintains these dyes are safe under current guidelines, states like California and Illinois have passed laws to restrict them, potentially pressuring manufacturers to reformulate nationwide.
Critics argue the U.S. lags behind Europe in post-market chemical safety reviews.
I’m sure Trump will reverse it. Just because.
Bold of you to assume there will be an FDA under trump.

Because fuck these scientists who think they know better than businessmen.
