The Food and Drug Administration has banned Red No. 3 dye after studies linked it to cancer in animals. Meanwhile, California’sban on six food dyes from school cafeterias aims to reduce potential health risks for children due to behavior issues. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Trump appointee, supports theban, calling for all dyes to be removed from cereals.
This shift follows concerns about dye exposure and its possible impact on kids’ well-being. Science shows that some food dyes are safe at low levels, but their risks remain uncertain. The new bans aim to protect public health while addressing criticism of current marketing practices involving sugary cereals.
