Red #40 is a menace to our children and it can be found in the most unlikely of places. Below is a list of the most bizarre places red # 40 can be found. You'll notice I didn't list the obvious red/pink/purple things, but the food items that are white, golden, yellow, etc. may also contain red food dye so don't be misled!

Roughly 99% of the items below have red
#40 in them:
popsicles jello fruit-snacks lollipops and candy cough syrups liquid pain relievers/fever reducers  You can assume these items above have it unless
it specifically says “dye-free”. Popsicles are easily made at
home using various fruit juices. Annies brand organic fruit snacks
use natural fruit and vegetable juices for color (check for these at
Target, Publix and similar stores). Our latest find has been some
awesome organic lollipops at the health food store. They're made by
Yummy Earth, they taste great and are completely dye free. Read the labels and make wise choices. Your child will feel better and be healthier for it. |
