Add your name to get toxic Red 3 dye out of our food

Thousands of food products sold across the country, from kids' treats to boxed mashed potatoes to chewing gum, contain "Red No. 3" food dye.

For decades, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has known of a link between Red 3 and cancer in lab rat tests -- and yet it has not taken action to keep the chemical away from our food, even though our nation's food laws require the FDA to not approve or remove from approval any food, drug, or cosmetic additives that cause cancer in humans or animals.

Tell the FDA: Remove Red 3 from the list of approved color additives in foods, dietary supplements and oral medicines.
