Peeps Easter Candy Linked to Cancer Risk

Consumer Reports is calling for the removal of Red Dye No. 3 from certain Peeps candies due to its potential as a carcinogen. The ingredient is found in several Peeps products, including Pink Marshmallow Chicks and Easter Marshmallow Pink Bunnies. The FDA is currently reviewing a petition to ban the artificial coloring ingredient from food. California lawmakers have also introduced legislation to remove Red Dye No. 3 from all food products.
