FDA bans Red No. 3 dye
The Food and Drug Administration has banned a controversial red dye from food and ingested drugs that has been linked to cancer in animals.
The FDA has decided to rescind its approval of FD&C Red No.3 — also referred to simply as Red No.3 — from food and drug supplies more than 30 years after the agency banned it from cosmetics.
The agency's decision comes less than a week before President-elect Trump is set to take office........
