The Red 40 Ban: What It Means and Why Our Products are Safe

Recently, the debate surrounding food additives, particularly Red 40, has been gaining attention. Several countries, including the European Union, have moved to ban or restrict the use of Red 40 in food products due to concerns about potential health risks. While these discussions are important, it’s essential to understand how this ban could affect the foods you love—and why our products, like the delicious Tagliolini Pomodoro pasta, are not impacted.

What Is Red 40 and Why Is It Being Banned?

Red 40, also known as Allura Red AC, is a synthetic food dye commonly used to give a vibrant red hue to a wide variety of products, from beverages to candies, snacks, and even processed meats. In the U.S., the FDA has deemed it safe for consumption in moderate amounts, but concerns persist. Some studies have suggested that Red 40 could cause hyperactivity in children or lead to allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. As a result, many countries have moved to ban or limit its use, sparking further discussions about the safety of artificial additives in our food supply.

Why Red 40 Isn’t an Issue for Our Products

Here’s the good news: Our products, including our popular Tagliolini Pomodoro, don’t contain Red 40 or any artificial dyes at all. We take pride in our commitment to using only the healthiest and highest-quality ingredients, which means no synthetic additives, colorants, or preservatives.

For example, our Tagliolini Pomodoro pasta gets its vibrant red color naturally from two key ingredients: tomato concentrate and beetroot powder. Both of these are entirely natural and nutrient-rich options that not only enhance the pasta's color but also provide a burst of flavor and health benefits. Beetroot powder is known for its high antioxidant content, while tomato concentrate adds a rich, savory depth to the dish—without any artificial additives.
