Raise your glass—the FDA has officially banned Red 3, and we at Brew Glitter are celebrating this monumental step toward safer products! As the leading supplier of edible drink glitter, we’ve been advocating for this shift, making sure your favorite sparkling beverages are as safe as they are stunning. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting change and how Brew Glitter is paving the way.

What is Red 3?  

Red 3, also known as Erythrosine, is a synthetic dye that has been widely used to create vibrant pinks, purple and some reds in food and beverage products. While effective for creating bold colors, Red 3 has been flagged for potential health risks, leading to its recent nationwide ban by the FDA. This decision aligns with growing consumer demand for safer, more natural ingredients.

What Color Does Red 3 Make?  

In the beverage world, Red 3 has been commonly used to create bright reds, purples, so that we can make glitters in vibrant pinks in cocktails, mocktails, and other colorful drinks. Its bold hues have made it a favorite for eye-catching garnishes and drink presentations—but "there’s a better, safer way to achieve these dazzling effects, and we are on board with this decision!" - Stephanie Summers - Social Media and Email Marketing Specialist 

How is Brew Glitter Responding?  

What Are We Using Instead of Red 3?  

We’ve replaced Red 3 with FDA-approved and natural alternatives that deliver the same brilliant sparkle and vibrant colors without the risks. Your health and safety are our TOP priority!
