Petition: Ban Red Dye No. 3 from U.S. Foods Now — Protect Kids and Public Health

Red Dye No. 3, a synthetic coloring made from petroleum, is still being used in foods across the U.S., especially in sweets and snacks aimed at children. This fossil fuel-based additive has been linked to cancer in animals and behavioral issues like ADHD in at least 23 human trials. It’s already banned in cosmetics and topical drugs—but somehow still ends up in what we eat.

California and multiple other countries have already banned Red Dye No. 3. So why hasn’t the FDA done the same nationwide? This additive serves no nutritional purpose—it’s just there to make junk food look flashier.

Sign the petition now to tell the FDA to put people over profit. Sign the petition now if you care about children’s health. Sign the petition now to demand a full ban on Red Dye No. 3.
