FDA Finally Bans Cancer-Linked Red Dye No.3 After Years

We've heard about it for years. Red Dye No. 3 is NOT GOOD! But, why has it taken so many years to do away with it in this Country? It's been banned from other countries for years.

I try to be vigilant about my health and of course, yours as well. We've got to talk about this big news: Red Dye No. 3 is officially outta here!

Now, for those of you livin' under a rock (just kiddin'!), Red 3 has been linked to cancer in animal studies. And while the FDA kind of dragged its feet on this one, they finally pulled the plug.

So, what does this mean for us here in the Tri-Cities? Well, get ready for some changes in your grocery cart.
