They have until 2027?
Lmao, we know this is bad but what's another 2yrs going to hurt...
Your comment prompted me to lookup when red 3 started to be used in food, but I couldn't find anything. Can't find who discovered it or when it was discovered either, weird. (There are claims but none with a credible source)
If the ban was effective immediately a bunch of things would have to be pulled from shelves and that would impact everything from Acetaminophen to Maraschino cherries to some vegetarian faux-meats. There's over 9,000 (lol) products across a wide number of industries that use Red 3.
To be reversed by Tuesday.
We need more concrete changes.

Yellow 5.
Rumors of it killing sperm back in the days of Surge.

Oh no! What about Big Red?!

Don’t worry. It’ll be back on the menu in six days.
