AFAIK, Red Dye 40 is not completely banned in any of the regions you mention, but it is subjected to varying levels of regulation and restriction. For example, the EU has stricter labeling requirements and a lower ADI.
Yes, I see that. Just putting in my two cents on the issue, so as to make the contrast with U.S. regulations even sharper. As toxicologists like to say, "the dose makes the poison," and as I like to ask, "why ingest even a small amount of poison if there are no benefits?"
I think as medical providers when one is encountered with an infectious disease where there is really no good treatment for that our hearts sometimes take over logic as we don’t want to see our patients die. I think back to the onset of Covid and the multiple changes of treatments over the two years and the heartbreaking of trying everything and “throwing the book at “to try and save a person to no avail. And the changes that occurred over those 2 to 3 years to include prone or not prone,, steroids are not steroids, antivirals, plus steroids, etc., etc. more recently my daughter‘s coworker who is my daughter‘s age and has been immunized who got Covid but was otherwise healthy and within about two weeks was on hospice and a week later had died. I think about all the advances of modern medicine how we truly can’t save everyone, but we do our darndest to try and save them. I agree that randomize controlled trials are the best but sometimes they just don’t come quick enough but ultraviolet light, etc. that was recommended by the Trump team was a laughing joke.

I did mention that warning labeling is required in EU, not a ban on use.

Perfect!
