The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a ban on Red No. 3, an artificial food coloring linked to cancer in animal studies, effective Jan. 15, 2027.
The dye, found in products ranging from candy to cold medicine, has been scrutinized for decades. This move follows the FDA's 1990 prohibition of the dye in cosmetics due to its carcinogenic effects on lab rats.
