**BREAKING NEWS: Red Dye 3 Banned from Foods in the US!**
Today, the FDA officially banned the use of Red Dye 3 in foods and beverages in the US. Red dye 3 is a synthetic, petroleum based dye and is linked to cancer in lab animals. This follows years of research and advocacy by public health groups concerned about its potential impact on children's health and is long over due.
Red Dye 3 is widely used in candies, soda and cereals and is linked to
*Hyperactivity
*Behavioral issues
*Allergic reactions
This is a significant victory for children's health! BUT, food manufacturers will have until January 2027 to remove Red Dye 3 from their products so continue to read those labels, eat whole, nutritious foods and limit processed foods.
Let's continue to advocate for healthier food choices for our children!
