Red No. 3 — is found in many American foods such as cereals, beverages, snacks, and candies. But it may soon be banned nationwide by the FDA. Here's what you need to know.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering a ban on Red No. 3, a synthetic food dye linked to cancer in animal studies, following a petition from Consumer Reports and other advocacy groups.
