The FDA has banned the use of Red 3 dye, also known as FD&C Red No. 3, erythrosine, or E127, from food and drugs due to health concerns. This dye has been commonly used in various products since it was first approved in 1969. The article discusses the widespread presence of Red 3 in everyday items, its associated health risks, and the reasons behind the FDA’s decision to prohibit its use.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The FDA’s decision to ban Red 3 dye is a significant move toward protecting consumer health. As technology and research advance, it becomes essential to reassess the safety of commonly used additives. In the app development and IT sectors, there is a parallel need for regular updates and audits to ensure that practices remain current and do not inadvertently harm users. This ban reflects a broader trend of increasing scrutiny and responsibility that other industries, including tech, must also embrace.
