U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville has expressed approval following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's decision to ban Red No. 3 from foods, dietary supplements, and ingested medicines. This development comes after Tuberville's inquiries during a Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing in December 2024 regarding the use of potentially harmful chemicals in the American food industry.

"Last month, I demanded answers from FDA officials on why Red Dye No. 3 is banned in cosmetics while being allowed in our foods. Glad to see the FDA finally use some common sense. I will keep working with Robert F. Kennedy and the MAHA Caucus to Make America Healthy Again," said Sen. Tuberville.

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Caucus is an initiative focused on improving nutrition and access to affordable, high-quality nutrient-dense foods and primary care. The caucus aims to address chronic disease causes with support from President Trump and HHS nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Senator Tommy Tuberville serves Alabama in the United States Senate and is part of several committees including Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans’ Affairs, HELP, and Aging.
