A handful of candies sold in Michigan contain an ingredient that the Center for Science in the Public Interest warns may cause cancer. With Valentine’s Day behind us, we have another big candy-rich Holiday coming up with Easter on Sunday, March 31st. A food and health watchdog group called the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is warning us to watch out for candy products that can be purchased in Michigan that contain the ingredient FD&C Red No. 3 a.k.a. Red Dye No. 3. The use of this chemical in cosmetics has been banned for decades because it gave rats cancer during testing. However, the FDA never banned its use in food products. The CSPI and several other groups want this to change according to Consumer Reports,
