"Red 3 – also called FD&C Red No. 3, erythrosine or E127 – has been widely used
in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals since its FDA approval in 1969. You’ve
likely encountered Red 3 before. It’s a common additive to many candies,
beverages, baked goods, cereals, maraschino cherries and gelatin desserts, as
well as certain medications, syrups and cosmetics.
However, mounting scientific evidence suggests that consuming Red 3 poses
significant health risks. These risks prompted California to ban its use in
food in 2023 and the Food and Drug Administration to ban its use in both food
and pharmaceuticals nationwide on Jan. 15, 2025.
As a researcher studying inflammation and cancer, I investigate how synthetic
food dyes affect human health. Stricter regulations reflect growing concerns
over the negative physiological effects of Red 3 and other synthetic dyes on
your body, including causing cancer."
