Here is the reason why:
1976, due to public controversy surrounding a particular red food coloring, red M&M'S® Chocolate Candies were removed from the traditional color mix.
1971, a Russian study linked cancer to Red No. 2, and consumerists in the U.S. stepped up pressure on the FDA to ban the dye.
1987, red was returned to the traditional M&M'S® color mix due to overwhelming request from consumers.
Sure, it's a different dye but I still don't trust em...epecially the Valentine's or Christmas bags. Yikes.

Oh, btw, i'm Dave's wife.
Hi!
red dye 40...that's used in maraschino cherries (no more hot fudge sundaes with a cherry on top I guess). My high school girl friend always told me she thought those were part of a government conspiracy anyway.
xoxoxo
You should try to eat the british smarties instead that now only contain natural dyes. They can't find a natural blue so they have white..might take a while to get used to it!
