On October 22, 1976, the FDA Took Action: Thousands of Pounds of Candy with Carcinogenic Red Dye #2 Were Recalled

An image shows a white text box overlaid on a background of red, round, sugar-coated candies. The text mimics a newspaper article, with a headline reading 'FDA recalls 'red-dye' candy' and a body text detailing a fictional recall of various candies containing Red No. 2 dye, listing items like Licorice Sticks and Jordan Almonds. The article falsely claims the FDA banned the dye because it was deemed unsafe for humans, and the ban was upheld in federal courts. The background is filled with the red candies, visually reinforcing the 'red-dye' theme.
