This week, the Food and Drug Administration announced that it would ban the use of Red Dye No. 3 in food products like candy and cereals. The agency cited a study that found the chemical caused cancer in rats and affected hundreds of items.

The move comes ahead of President-elect Trump's inauguration. His nominee for Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has promised to "Make America Healthy Again” and remove chemicals and other additives from our food, which he believes are harming us.

Days after the news broke, Dr. Peter Lurie, President of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), joined host Lisa Brady on the Rundown to discuss the research that led to the decision to ban the dye and why the CSPI petitioned for the reform.

Dr. Lurie explained how this could impact food products in the country, and what chemicals might be next to go as the Trump administration takes over.

We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the

full interview.

Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Dr. Peter Lurie,

allowing you to hear more about why he says many food additives and dyes are dangerous, and should be banned ed as well.
