Finally Red Dye No. 3 Be Gone

What does this mean?
It’s a great day! Today the FDA has been urged to ban Red Dye No. 3 from all our food! The dye has been restricted in cosmetics since 1990 yet allowed in our foods for 35 years after?!?!? Come on! Finally Americans are calling for safer foods and this is great!

Why is Red Dye No.3 bad - it can cause serious health risks especially for children causing ADHD, behavioral issues, and even cancer. These outcomes have been proved for years yet the FDA made no change whatsoever.

Today changes all that! Our children deserve more and although there is still a whole list of toxic ingredients allowed this is one step in the right direction.

What next, it’s important to know manufacturers have until January 2027 to phase this out, pharmaceutical manufacturers have until January 2028 :(. So, continue to read labels especially for children foods! If you don’t know what an ingredient is research it. DM me and I can help. OR check out the EWG app. A third party source that rates foods based off the ingredients. This is a great source to use on the run! Home products, cosmetics and even food are included in their database.

Even with the banning of red dye no. 3 it took the US 35 years to ban and 60 years to ban trans fats.

We still have a whole slew of food additives and toxins that need to be removed from our foods. It’s important to read your labels! Yesterday was one step in the right direction but there is still a long way to go.
