What it is
Red 40, also known as Allura Red AC, is a synthetic food coloring that gives foods a red shade. It is made from petroleum.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add Red 40 to make foods more visually appealing or to restore color lost during processing. It is commonly found in candies, beverages, desserts, and processed snacks, such as canned fruit and gelatin products.
Health notes
Red 40 is an FDA-approved color additive for use in food. In April 2025, the FDA announced a plan to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes, including Red 40. Some studies have suggested a possible link between synthetic food dyes, including Red 40, and hyperactivity in some children, though evidence is mixed. JECFA has evaluated Red 40 and set an acceptable daily intake. EFSA has also evaluated this additive.
