The FDA has ruled that red no. 40 is safe for public consumption. They reviewed the dye as recently as 2019.
There's some controversy about the ruling that this dye is completely safe, though. People are petitioning the FDA to at least include a warning label in all foods that contain this synthetic dye.
The reason for this protest is that preliminary evidence indicates that consuming certain synthetic dyes might make symptoms of attention deficit hyper activity disorder (ADHD) worse. The synthetic dyes that could be to blame include:
Red no. 3
Red no. 40
Yellow no. 5
To date, studies have only shown very minor effects from these dyes. There are also some problems with most of these studies, calling into question the quality of the data. Problems include things like studying so many additives at one time that it's impossible to pin the effects on a particular substance.
However, overall, there does seem to be conclusive evidence that consuming certain synthetic dyes, like red no. 40, can increase hyperactivity — and possibly irritability — in susceptible children. Only a small percentage of people are affected. Most of these people are children who are diagnosed with ADHD and seem to be particularly sensitive to these additives.
To be clear, there's no evidence that consuming these dyes actually causes ADHD, but they might make certain symptoms worse.
The FDA, however, needs more evidence before they're willing to add a warning label to foods that contain red no. 40.
Fruit puree (grape, peach, orange, strawberry and raspberry), corn syrup, sugar, modified corn starch, modified tapioca starch, gelatin, concord grape juice from concentrate, pectin, citric acid (acidulant), lactic acid, natural and artificial flavors, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), alpha tocopherol acetate (vitamin E), vitamin A palmitate, sodium citrate, coconut oil, carnauba wax, annato (color), turmeric (color), red 40, and blue 1.
Why add corn syrup and sugar??
I'm looking for a stocking stuffer
