During a session of the State Congress, a resolution proposed by Deputy Beatriz Fraustro was approved, urging the Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) to take the necessary actions and conduct studies to promptly address the ban on the additive known as erythrosine or E-127 in the production and sale of both domestic and imported food and beverages.

The legislator noted that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently prohibited the use of Red 3 dye in food, beverages, and ingestible medications.

She elaborated that this additive is a synthetic dye derived from petroleum, commonly used to impart a bright cherry red color to food and beverages.
