Red dye number 2 was banned in 1976 due to links to cancer in rats. Red dye number 3 was banned in 2025 over similar health concerns. Manufacturers have been given until January 16, 2027, to remove red dye number 3 from their products.
What might this ban mean for the animal feed industry? Does it have application and perhaps implications?
During IPPE in Atlanta, Ga, we had the opportunity to talk with David Eisenberg, President of Micro-Tracers, a manufacturer of analytical tracers that uses a minute amount of red dye number 3 in its products for the animal feed industry. The use of tracers is common among animal feed and animal health companies worldwide as a way to identify their products as proprietary.

Red dye number two was banned in 1976 due to links
to cancer in rats.
Red dye number three was bannedhere in 2025 over similar
health concerns.
Manufacturers have untilJanuary 16th of 2027 to remove
red dye number three from theirproducts.
What might this mean for theanimal feed industry?
(00:27):
Does it have application andperhaps implications?
Welcome to Feedstuffs in Focus,our podcast taking a look at
the big issues affecting thelivestock, poultry, grain and
animal feed industries.
I'm your host, sarah Muirhead.
During IPPE in Atlanta, georgia, we had the opportunity to talk
with David Eisenberg, presidentof Microtracers.
(00:49):
Microtracers is a manufacturerof analytical tracers and they
use a minute amount of red dyenumber three in their products
for the animal feed industry.
The use of tracers is commonamong animal feed and animal
health companies worldwide as away to identify their products
as proprietary, and one of thethree particular situations that
(01:26):
I think is most important arethe banks.
The banks have products thatare highly-priced, which is very
much the quality of theproducts, because they are very
cheap and the high-priced.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
So the rate of use of the products is very, very
important in my country.
So, the three sides behind thisreality that I'm dealing with
today, well, the basis of thescience is not this one science,
it's a dish that I'm doing inthe world with the three
arguments that I'm talking about, which is what I'm talking
(02:00):
about in 1960, what I'm doing in2020.
The fact that you know I'mgoing to the collapse of the
country, you know the way thepresident is presented about
population, that this is severalyears ago.
I spoke to Richard Moore, who Iknow is a man who has been
(02:23):
tested for the under the testingof this regime, and the facts
of the outbreak and, in case ofthe right of the duration A, the
results of science and publicinterest are out there.
They have the opportunity to belisted.
I don't even know if that makessense, but the things that make
possible is that you write in abook.
(02:44):
The Center for Science ofPublic Education filed this
petition in 2013.
The partner, the United Nationsthemselves and the region wrote
on the 19th.
They were worried about theopportunity of the project that
was started in 1987.
They did not contribute, butthey were in order to use it
(03:05):
better in the game.
I mean, I've got several timesin the book, I've written three
published articles that'sfollowed by a page by the
Englishman, and I've written anew one that has been in writing
by Siddharth, and it's not justabout evidence, it's about the
nature of the animal being blackand white, and that's a good
(03:26):
point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
I think that's a good point.
Rights White rights can look atthe perspective of the effects
(03:46):
that you can have on the body ofyour guy or like your white
white color.
So this supports biology.
It keeps under the body andthat's one of the purposes of
the entire piece.
White B's are the type of thingthat can be totally different
in the matter of age.
B's are the matter of dying.
Is the right decision to go outand do it?
(04:07):
If you're going to go out andplay with fire.
You should know something aboutwhat dying is and, especially
if it's a choice, if you'regoing to die in a fire, if
you're going to die in a fire,you're going to have to do it in
a way that's not going to makeyou feel like you're going to
die.
So I'm going to one thingthat's going on.
Several states have been in line.
The laws of the county dosupport that resolution.
(04:30):
We still like to talk aboutthat, but we don't want to go
through what the laws say or do.
I talked about legislativeorders on state boards.
I mean specifically on thestate boards and on the like.
Nobody accepting biology andself-reflective anxiety and high
(04:54):
level of pain and all the otherkind of healing and curable
things like that are not beingin their own decision about it.
They just do what they do.
Some of those non-scientificpatients who are having the body
, the chemistry, thepsychedelics, the unscientific
patients who are providing thebody, the people who have the
power to do the work, thecommunity where they are, I mean
(05:18):
, I think we have seen this inthe scenario of the eight-week
labor system years ago.
What happened then?
Is that the synthetic flavor?
You know, years ago my husbandand I used to have a super
favorite meal a day.
I think it would be a naturalthing.
It's been expected to try tolook like they're not actually
as large as they were in the 70s.
So I went to a bakery in Chicagoto try to get a look around.
(05:42):
I was in the middle of a bakerywith some baker factories.
Or I'm not going to do this,but they're not going to do this
.
So I think they're not going todo this.
I think that is reallyimportant because it's important
that they're not going to dothis.
Well, I've been worried abouttech companies that took their
(06:02):
own time out.
Yes, I mean a couple years back.
I had to do it that yearbecause there was a big stimulus
that just really, like you said, it just felt like the cereal
doesn't look like it's supposedto.
But I think that's a good thingbecause she's going to replace
it.
So I don't think you could useas a cluster of activities that
(06:22):
you could alter anything.
Well, we're all in church, butnumber three and I have two
teachers that I'm right behindand she's got two colors, black
and white of Virginia, whichhelp white colors, but they're
different.
They're much more similar, butwith racial, so they're quite
different, but she's got a nicedark red and they don't like
(06:48):
faces, they don't like yourcustomers or the hybrid bankers.
They all have big investors andthey have the broad-bankers,
the hybrid bankers.
They connect the market chainsand the market stations to the
hybrid bankers.
They have a fantasticinteraction between the point
(07:09):
about how we should bepost-jurisdicted.
We want to do it good.
We want to do it good for thefuture.
And as for the United Statesour customers they're either
more or less extraditioned tothe entire department of the
world or they're separate fromthe United States.
So I'm not saying that this is agood idea, because there's a
(07:29):
double limit on what you'reusing and you don't think you're
going to find something that'sthe same as the other.
So you have to make sure thatyou're not in danger, and that's
why we have customers that donot get to work, because you
don't want to represent people.
But you can contact them, butwe're trying to test them.
She has to know what thesituation is.
(07:50):
What efforts are we making?
And that is what we're doing foryears and we have to go through
a set of requirements, andthese are under-certical
requirements, under-certicalrequirements and, in other parts
low-price, under-certicalrequirements so that we can
apply them to our problems andallow them to be applied, and
that's going to be.
I allow people and I worked forthe committee and I'm in the
(08:12):
lab, but there's a camera in hislap.
I'm the one who had to see howthis was going to be successful.
I should be able to get thisdone for later and I'm still.
I'm still the one who reallygot this provided for.
You should actually advise thebank.
You should not go to adviceyour doctor.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
The doctor needs to know what they're doing and I
suppose that the the trueexplanation of the doctor point
to all of the things that whatwe saw in the case of excellent
safety care I had a lot ofconversations with my mom about.
With the experience she saw myvoice respected, most of all as
a journalist, because you'realways working hard and actively
(08:54):
doing what positions you are,opposing the bulk of the
industry and you're awake towhat, how many public positions
you have on the public source.
All of a sudden it's putting upa discussion.
Why don't you put that up thenand have thathead?
