Just heard that the FDA finally banned red dye #3 from food. They had banned it from being used in cosmetics 35 years ago! Uh, WTF? So, 35 years ago, it was deemed too dangerous to put on your skin, lips or eyelashes, but still safe to EAT?

I don't think any dye should be allowed. Food is the color that it is. No need to enhance the color. Makes no sense to me, except as marketing.

Sure, RFK Jr. gets credit for the achievement of getting rid of red dye #3.
But also gets “credit” for all the children who die or are crippled for life because he convinced their parents not to vaccinate them.

Can you give any credit to RFK Jr for this achievement?
No. That's due to the petition filed two years ago that he had nothing to do with.

California banned it in 2023, giving industry until 2027 to fully comply. Most California health initiatives eventually cause compliance nationwide (a reason Trump hates California), so it was just a matter of time. It was a battle but we got 'er done.
The California Food Safety Act prohibits the manufacturing, distribution and sale of food and beverages that contain brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben and red dye 3 — which can be found in candy, fruit juices, cookies and more.https://www.npr.org/2023/10/10/1204839281/californ...
