Introduction:
The FDA recently banned Red Dye 3, but another artificial coloring, Red Dye 40, continues to appear in many everyday foods. As a parent, this is personal to me. I’ve seen how Red Dye 40 impacts children, and I want to share my story to help others make more informed choices.
Red Dye 3 Ban: Why It Matters
Red Dye 3, often used in candies and cosmetics, has been linked to health concerns. Its ban is a significant step forward, but it leaves a question: why is Red Dye 40, which has its own set of concerns, still widely used?
What Parents and Grandparents Should Know
- Behavioral Effects: Studies suggest Red Dye 40 may contribute to hyperactivity in children.
- Reading Labels: Learn to identify food dyes on ingredient lists to make informed decisions.
- Alternatives: Opt for naturally colored foods or those made without artificial dyes.
The FDA’s ban on Red Dye 3 is a step in the right direction, but the journey toward safer foods isn’t over. Let’s continue advocating for transparency and healthier options for our families.
