Isn't Red 40 the more concerning dye since it causes behavior issues in kids? Can't we just stick with using ground up beetles for our red colors instead of petroleum products?

My wife is actually allergic to Red 40. She has to make sure she doesn't ingest much. Not dangerously anaphylacticnorr anything just gets itchy and yucky feeling.

I was allergic to it as a kid, i would get huge rashes on my stomach and back and touching it even slightly would make to welp up. Very uncomfortable.
