FDA bans use of Red No. 3 dye in food, drinks

Anyone want to take bets on how long until right wing influencers start talking about how Red No 3 cures COVID/cancer/brainworms and how the government is trying to take it away because of how good it is, while posting a video of themselves chugging gallons of it on TikTok to own the libs?

Sure. Ban Red Dye No. 3, but let's allow all the homeopathic bullshit we want because hey why regulate that stuff? They just give it to kids.

Invest in BEETS!! Get in on the GROUND FLOOR before BEET STONKS go BBRRRRRRR!!!1!one1!! 📈 🤑 🚀 🌕

MOD: In light of reports related to homeopathy:

There is a studied and demonstrated harm associated with homeopathy. However, claims made in ignorance of this will not be removed as misinformation at this time.

They have until 2027?

Lmao, we know this is bad but what's another 2yrs going to hurt...

Do Red40 next!

“the link between the dye and cancer does not occur in humans”

So just because it’s carcinogenic in rats means it’s banned. But sure, let’s keep selling cigarettes. This is just a big joke.

Who numbers all these dyes anyway?

To be reversed by Tuesday.

We need more concrete changes.

Oh no! What about Big Red?!

EDIT: It's OK, we still have Red 40

I thought Red No. 5 was the bad one. I feel like I remember that from somewhere.

Don’t worry. It’ll be back on the menu in six days.
