#FDA #RedFoodDye #FoodDye
Good they’ve needed to do this for decades. We have natural red dyes why aren’t we using them ??
It’s funny that the pair hyperactivity with images of red sugar 🤣
Millions of people with chronic diseases later…still waiting
Took them long enough.
No no no no no instead of the word “May” they should ban it
The FDA does not care about our health. So many cancers and diseases are on the rise and the FDA just shrugs their shoulders.
What are they waiting for
Ban it ALL from EVERYTHING!
Ive been avoiding red 40 for 10 years now. Maybe I can finally buy some salmon at the store soon.
Just leave my Blue no.1 alone and I’ll be thrilled
Omg 😮
Good
The lady wring when she says it will take years to change just use what other countries a using they have them in house already the switch should be pretty fast
My 17 yr old daughter was very sensitive to red dye when she was younger. Just a tiny amount would cause her to have melt downs. I was amazed at the amount of food products that contained red dye. Some chips have it. One day we knew she had red dye somewhere and finally found it in the banana extract I had used that day. Thankfully she can tolerate small amounts now. She says she just feels weird when she has something with a significant amount.
Why specifically red 3 and not all the other ones that are just as bad. Just copy uk’s fda they have seem to get it right
Avoid processed foods, if possible. Shop the perimeter of the grocery store. Eat at home.
Can they ban all the other chemicals that are killing us too?
Dye in food should be banned even if it is natural. Eating something sweet that is brightly colored is going to always be more attractive to children developing eating habits.
FINALLY!!
They should ban dyes in drinks and make food and drinks natural
There is a lot more banning that needs to be done AMERICA!!
the chems sprayed on food..
It blows my mind that we don’t just make red food dye from beetroots or pomegranate. I get that people want to eat things that are bright red, so I understand not removing food dyes as a whole, but it’s ridiculous that we somehow cleared that it’s okay to use petroleum for it.
Thank god that stuff automatically degrades the flavor of whatever’s it’s pumped into
This won’t go into effect. Trump will abolish the FDA.
This is great news!
For years my friends would look at me weird when I told them I don’t eat/ drink anything red.
Red dye gives me a headache the day after I consume it— guaranteed.
YaY❣️🙏🏾
Them you 😂
All artificial dyes and ingredients need to go away. As do energy drinks.
NOT THE RED 40! NOOOOOOOOO!
Ban the whole Rainbow
Its funny how media covers this or this another distraction😂😂😂
Now talk about fluoride
He news artite should read ‘ the fda knowingly ruined lifes of millions by leaving brain numbing red40 in the food supply for deceades’
Ban all dyes!
The cochineal [parasite] insect is the bug that produces the natural dye carmine which causes cancer and all types of diseases.
Good. Clean up our food and make America healthy again.
e
Laughs in red 40
Do it, I think I’ll be okay with my food being less colorful and healthier. Duh
Good
It’s time to drop the America all good act. Adopt some food bans like Europe has
It would be a good move for sure especially for the kids
So they’re banning red dye because parents are not parenting their children by not keeping their hellions out of it…
Move away from people with children because their parenting is probably irresponsible anyway lol.
I’ve NEVER seen so many people want the government to have the control over what we can and can’t consume.
What’s in it for the FDA? They never actually tested microwaves… 😂
All these food dyes get left on the shelf when I go shopping.
Amazing
They havent done it for decades despite the EU, canada, and nearly every single other country already having done so.
They probably just want to hurry up and do it before Trump & RFK get into office so that credit cannot be given to that administration. Well, whatever gets the job done and saves them from all getting fired!
Should have been did that.
About time
Wonderful. Americans don’t want freedom of choice because they want treated like children. We’re more than ready for THE Antichrist.
JUST BAN ALL THE DYES!!
Omgosh it’s not that hard!! 🤬😡
About time they do!!! Fold shouldn’t be allowed have so much red dye for no reason!!!
my fruit punch crystal light is about to look like water lol
Good, now ban high fructose corn syrup
About time. Why do we still use unnecessary dye? Stop using artificial dye!
All thanks to Santa Cruz Paleo.
finally!
Ironic seeing as yall know Trump and RFK are coming in to do this anyway… reeks of “pick me”. Look what WE did.
About flipping time. Now when’s red dye 40’s turn?
Ha…it’s banned everywhere else in the world….greedy people….
They need to ban ALL dyes in food and artificial coloring and flavors….
NO one is against this!
Yeah right some company will successfully lobby
All artificial colors and artificial flavors should’ve been banned a decade ago
After how many years???
I’m pretty sure we’re like the last country to do it. Geez
Yaaaas
Good
About fckn time
The RFK affect…
About time we with special needs children have been pushing for this for years
About time!
Only took them about 100 years
I wonder why
We don’t need it. Ban away.
RFK has made this a principal mission, among other good goals
Cause vegans will eat anything if you say its vegan friendly
Yea- cause hyper activity is the only concern. 😂
this stuff is inside our shampoos, body washes and other things to if they would look… it’s not just our food that’s artificially made they should look into but other stuff we use on our bodies too 🙏
I approve of all these messages.
Dw I’ll just close my eyes when i eat food without it
They might ban red dye but they let shellac go.
Bug turds!
Yawn, they’ve been talking about this for so many years now, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Good, this should have been done a lot time ago. Other counties have it banned for a reason we are late to the party for sure
NOT MY HOT CHEETOS
They should have done that from 2 decades ago…..
So just ban all dyes lol not just red dye 40🙄
Why haven’t they already???
RFK already getting to work??!! Let’s f**king go!
Good.
It’s about time!
Children’s Tylenol and Pediatyle have red 40 for no good reason at all. Just make it clear.
It’s about time they finally ban something harmful for human consumption.
Yeah, why not?
and they absolutely should
This is what happens when a push comes to a shove. ZERO Integrity from the FDA
Wild how they’re going to try and take credit for it before RFK comes in. Pathetic
