FDA to consider banning red food dye — an ingredient not allowed in skin products yet ‘a kid can eat it’
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may enact a total ban on red food dye, the artificial coloring that’s not allowed in skin products but “a kid can eat it.” On December 5, the FDA gathered for a health committee meeting with the U.S. Senate to discuss a petition regarding Red No. 3, otherwise referred to as Erythrosine.
