FDA bans Red #3 food coloring

[Mike Nolan]

This has been years in the making, but the FDA has banned Red #3 food coloring, though the science behind the ban is IMHO a bit shaky.

It'll take several years for products that currently use red #3 (like Peeps) to reformulate their products.

I wonder how people will make Red Velvet Cake in the future? Will they go back to using beet juice, which was the original way it was colored?

Interesting question but isn't it already banned in Europe? What are they using as a substitute?
