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.
FDA said there is a ‘lad;
