When the FDA announced a ban of food dye Red No. 3 this week, the agency pointed to a law that says a food additive may not be authorized if it's been found to cause cancer. And research shows that red No. 3 can cause cancer in laboratory rats when they are exposed to high levels.
Food companies still have a couple of years to eliminate petroleum-based red No. 3 from their products. And there are other synthetic food dyes — in all sorts of different colors — that remain on the market.
Some evidence shows these synthetic dyes can negatively affect children's behavior and mental health.
