OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The FDA banned the dye called Red 3 from the nation’s food supply. The additive was taken out of makeup 35 years ago because of potential cancer risk, but it was not removed from food. People can find the coloring in many candies, cakes, and cough medicines. That will now change with the ban removing it from the list of approved color additives in foods. Nicole Hanson is the owner of Sweet Friends Bakery in Edmond. She opened the shop almost two years ago and was excited to hear the news about the ban on Wednesday. "I had two people actually send me a text," said Hanson. "We had a little mini party back here." A health scare last year forced Hanson to take a second look at her ingredients."That was kind of my turning point," said Hanson. She posted on the bakery’s social media page that her business intended to eliminate all dyes and artificial colors from their recipes. She said the additives were damaging to our mind and body."I really think it's our food. I think it's what we put in our body. It's the only thing that everyone does the same," said Hanson.

Kay Robinson was another metro mom who made the change."He would be raging, literally raging," said Robinson, who was referring to her son and his behavior. She said she cut dyes from her son’s diet five years ago. Her child’s journey was featured on a new documentary called “To Dye For.”"Once I got it [dyes] all removed, about a month and a half later, it was a 100% difference,” said Robinson. “It was like the Hulk to Bruce Banner." Oklahoma State Senator Kristen Thompson authored a bill for the upcoming legislative session that would eliminate nearly a dozen artificial additives to foods that Oklahomans eat."I'm glad that the FDA is catching up with me,” said Thomspon. "There are so many other artificial dyes out there. The science is pretty clear. There's no nutritional value. There's lot of correlation between hyperactivity, cancer. So I'm hopeful that we can cast a little bit of a wider net to get these things out of our food." If Thompson’s bill is voted into law, it would go into effect November 1, 2025. It still has a long process to go through before that would happen. With the FDA’s ban of Red 3, food companies have until January 2027 to remove the Red 3 from products, while drug makers have until January 2028. Imported foods must follow the new guidelines as well.
