Peeps candy under fire for controversial ingredients and potential health risks.

Consumer Reports is urging Just Born Quality Confections, the maker of Peeps, to stop using Red Dye No. 3, a dye that has been linked to cancer in animals, in their candies. The dye is used in many food products, including candy corn, snack cakes, and veggie bacon. The FDA is currently reviewing Consumer Reports' petition to ban the use of the dye in food. Just Born Quality Confections argues that the dye is an approved color additive and all of their candy is made in compliance with FDA regulations.
