    After your comment, I looked it up and there is very little information about red dye 3 causing cancer. The only thing that I found was it caused cancer in extremely high doses in lab rats, which means absolutely nothing if there has been no studies on humans. Also, these peeps do not contain red dye 3. They contain Red Lake 40 which is apparently safer than Red 3.

      It’s banned in cosmetics and declared by the FDA to be carcinogenic. I’d rather not take my chances with anything containing it.

      Good to hear these peeps don’t have it. I think the pink ones still do though.
