Red 3

Banned by FDA

Also labeled as: FD&C Red No. 3, Erythrosine, E127

A synthetic red dye historically used in candy, cake decorations, and maraschino cherries.

Regulatory status: Banned. The FDA formally revoked authorization for Red 3 in food in January 2025, a separate and stronger action than the voluntary phase-out request covering the other dyes. Manufacturers have until January 2027 to reformulate or stop selling existing Red 3 products.
