Is it true that the FDA revoked authorization of Red No. 3 in food in January 2025, citing cancer in male lab rats?

Yes. Official FDA and Federal Register records state that in January 2025 the FDA revoked authorization for FD&C Red No. 3 in food, citing data that the additive induces cancer in male rats. Two further sources independently report the January 2025 food ban and the rat-cancer basis.
