The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has decided not to hold a public hearing regarding the removal of FD&C Red No. 3 from food and drug regulations. A company called Micro-Tracers, Inc. had filed objections and requested a hearing to challenge the agency’s decision to stop regulating this specific red color additive for use in food and ingested drugs.
Why it matters: This is a procedural step that allows the FDA to move forward with its plan to stop regulating Red No. 3 in food and drugs, following a legal challenge by the company involved.
