Which Foods Contain Red Dye 3? What To Be Aware Of After FDA Ban, Per Food Safety Expert

Scott Keatley, RD, co-owner of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy, was featured in an article on Women's Health discussing the FDA's ban on red dye 3. He emphasized that the dye, which is used solely for its vivid red and pink colors, does not enhance flavor, nutrition, or shelf life in food products. Scott also addressed concerns about red dye 3's potential link to ADHD, noting that its actual impact is likely minimal compared to broader lifestyle and environmental factors, such as lack of physical activity and excessive consumption of junk food.
