COLLEGE STATION Testing shows safety questionable BINGO FDA bans Red 4 food dye Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration today banned the artificial colors used to make maraschino cherries red and jelly beans and licorice black, saying their safety is questionable. Laboratory tests with dogs suggest that food dye called Red No. 4 may cause urinary bladder polyps and atrophy of the adrenal glands, the FDA said. Further more, there is no reliable testing method to assure that the color car bon black does not contain a cancer-causing byproduct, the agency said. The FDA announced it also will ban 10 other color additives, ap proved for use only in cosmetics, in 30 days. It will also permanently approve 20 other colors for use only in external drugs and cosmetics by the year’s end and give industry more time to conduct further safety testing of 52 other colors, three of them in food. Richard Ronk, who heads the FDA’s color additives division, said the carbon black ban signals an end to black jelly beans and licorice. It was unclear whether the Red No. 4 ban would spell the same fate for red maraschino cherries or whether another additive can be used. The color does not influence the flavor of cherries, which also are marketed in green and in their natural yellow color after process ing. Three years ago, the Giant Food retail chain began marketing maras chino cherries without artificial col oring in its 110 stores in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. But “they have not been a wildly popular product,” store officials say. “People always think cherries should be red, and yellow ones just don’t register. They’re looking for something red to put on grapefruit or in whiskey sours,’’ said Janet Tenney, assistant to Giant’s vice president for consumer programs. Under the FDA order, Red No. 4 is banned for use in foods and drugs taken internally, but can still be used safely in cosmetics and exter nally applied drugs. Carbon black is banned for use in candies, drugs and cosmetics such as eye shadow and mascara.
