According to the FDA's January 2025 ban, products like Little Debbie's Cosmic Brownies and various holiday snacks have included Red Dye 3 in their formulations. This widely used food additive, also known as erythrosine, was used to create vibrant red and pink colors in many snack foods. The use of Red Dye 3 in food products was recently prohibited due to safety concerns identified in animal studies.
