Red dye No. 3 banned just a HEAD FAKE -- if the FDA really cared about American’s health, they would ban ALL INDUSTRIAL-BASED FOOD DYES

  • Limited Ban of Red Dye No. 3: The FDA has banned the synthetic food color additive Red Dye No. 3, but manufacturers have until January 15, 2027, to sell off their existing stock, continuing to expose consumers to a known neurotoxin for nearly two more years.
  • Inadequate and Delayed Action: The FDA's ban on Red Dye No. 3 is criticized for its narrow scope and delayed implementation, suggesting a pattern of negligence in addressing the widespread use of carcinogenic food dyes in various products.
  • Other Harmful Dyes Remain Unregulated: Multiple other synthetic dyes such as Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, and others are still permitted, despite being linked to cancer, hypersensitivity reactions, and ADHD, highlighting the need for broader regulatory action.
  • Call for Natural Alternatives: Critics advocate for the use of natural and organic food colorants derived from plants and herbs, as synthetic dyes provide no nutritional benefits and pose significant health risks. They argue for stricter testing and oversight by regulatory authorities to protect public health.
So, the FDA has officially banned synthetic, industrial-based food color additive red dye No. 3, but why just that one? Still, they’re not even acting on this overnight. The ban won’t happen until all their corporate cohorts sell off all their standing inventory over the next two years, further poisoning Americans with known carcinogens in the food, just like the FDA has done for 100 years and running. That’s right, manufacturers who use FD&C Red No. 3 in food and ingested drugs will have until January 15, 2027, to remove the known neurotoxin. Here’s the most absurd part. Banning only red dye is about equivalent to if kids were eating boxes of crayons and getting cancer from them, and so the company that makes them just takes out the red ones. See, we care!

Are your kids eating industrial-based petroleum by-products? Are you?

Are your kids eating industrial-based petroleum by-products? Did you grow up consuming these carcinogens? We should all be able to sue the FDA for negligence. Think about it. These industrial-based dyes were in almost every category of kid’s food, beverages, candy, and over-the-counter medications. There are thousands and thousands of products for sale for consumption right now in the USA that contain known carcinogenic dyes, just as bad for your health as FD&C Red No. 3, and you’ll probably NEVER see them get banned, since it took the FDA (Food and Drug Adulterators) 30 years to ban just one color. Here we go with a list of synthetic, cancer-driving and ADHD-fueling dyes that will remain on the market for decades.
  • Red 40: Synthetic dye linked to ADHD
  • Yellow 5: A dye that has been found to be contaminated with carcinogens and has been linked to hypersensitivity reactions
  • Yellow 6: A dye that has been found to be contaminated with carcinogens and has been linked to hypersensitivity reactions
  • Blue 1: A dye that has been linked to hypersensitivity reactions
  • Allura Red AC: A primary food dye that is a sodium salt
  • Tartrazine: Also known as FD&C Yellow 5, this dye has been linked to hypersensitivity reactions
  • Amaranth: A water-soluble dye that ranges in color from dark red to purple
  • Orange B: An FDA-approved dye that can be used in hot dog and sausage casings
For decades, natural health advocates and honest scientists have raised serious concerns about the safety of food dyes currently approved for use in the United States. These colorful additives, originally derived from coal tar and now made from petroleum, have long been a source of debate. The review found that nine US-approved food dyes pose varying levels of health risks. For example, Red 3 has been shown to cause cancer in animals, and several other dyes may also be carcinogenic. Moreover, three dyes—Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6—are contaminated with benzidine and other cancer-causing substances. Where is the FDA on that? Research has also linked at least four dyes (Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6) to hypersensitivity reactions. Microbiological and rodent studies on Yellow 5 suggest that it may be genotoxic, meaning it can damage DNA and potentially cause mutations. Where is the FDA on that? While some dyes like Citrus Red 2 and Orange B show safety concerns, their usage is limited and has declined over time. However, the overall evidence indicates that the risks of these dyes outweigh any benefits, as they do not improve food safety or nutritional value. Where is the FDA on that? The researchers recommend that regulatory authorities require more thorough and independent testing of food dyes. They also suggest that any future approval of dyes should be based on rigorous safety testing, and that safer alternatives should be used in place of the current dyes. This call to action underscores the need for greater caution and oversight in the food coloring industry. There are plenty of natural and organic food bio-colorants available that come from plant, herb and food sources, such as pepper, saffron, red beets, grapes, turmeric and blueberries, but corporate America and the FDA are all about cutting corners, making profits, and sickening the populace so the Cancer Industrial Complex can continue fueling their cash cow.
