The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is taking significant steps towards banning Red Dye 3, a food coloring associated with cancer risks. Recent hearings and discussions in Congress have highlighted the urgency of this issue, with officials confirming that a decision could be finalized in the coming weeks. Advocates, including members of Congress such as Pallone, are pushing for a federal ban, emphasizing the need for consumer safety. As the agency conducts its safety evaluation, all eyes remain on the FDA to see if these efforts will lead to a major shift in American dietary regulations.
