Originally Published 1 year ago — by Turn to 10
The FDA is considering banning Red No. 3, a petroleum-based artificial dye used in many children's foods, due to concerns about its links to hyperactivity and ADHD. Experts suggest natural alternatives are available, and some states like California and Illinois are already moving to ban the dye. The FDA's decision is expected in the coming weeks.
