U.S. regulators on Wednesday banned the dye called Red 3 from the nation’s food supply, nearly 35 years after it was barred from cosmetics because of potential cancer risk.

    Genuinely was wondering: what food/drink actually uses red 3 today? Like definitely sounds like it should probably be banned from food one way or another but every food I can think of with red dye is red 40. Edit: like if it doesn’t go without saying you should probably avoid red 40 also just cause you should avoid processes foods with additives as much as possible…but still better.
