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 banned here in 2025 over similar health concerns. Manufacturers have until January 16th of 2027 to remove red dye number three from their products. What might this mean for the animal feed industry? Does it have application and perhaps implications? Welcome to Feedstuffs in Focus, our podcast taking a look at the big issues affecting the livestock, 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, president of Microtracers. Microtracers is a manufacturer of analytical tracers and they use a minute amount of red dye number three in their 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, and one of the three particular situations that I think is most important are the banks. The banks have products that are highly-priced, which is very much the quality of the products, because they are very cheap and the high-priced.

Speaker 2:

So the rate of use of the products is very, very important in my country. So, the three sides behind this reality that I'm dealing with today, well, the basis of the science is not this one science, it's a dish that I'm doing in the world with the three arguments that I'm talking about, which is what I'm talking about in 1960, what I'm doing in 2020. The fact that you know I'm going to the collapse of the country, you know the way the president is presented about population, that this is several years ago. I spoke to Richard Moore, who I know is a man who has been tested for the under the testing of this regime, and the facts of the outbreak and, in case of the right of the duration A, the results of science and public interest are out there. They have the opportunity to be listed. I don't even know if that makes sense, but the things that make possible is that you write in a book. The Center for Science of Public Education filed this petition in 2013. The partner, the United Nations themselves and the region wrote on the 19th. They were worried about the opportunity of the project that was started in 1987. They did not contribute, but they were in order to use it better in the game. I mean, I've got several times in the book, I've written three published articles that's followed by a page by the Englishman, and I've written a new one that has been in writing by Siddharth, and it's not just about evidence, it's about the nature of the animal being black and white, and 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. I think that's a good point.

Speaker 2:

Rights White rights can look at the perspective of the effects that you can have on the body of your guy or like your white white color. So this supports biology. It keeps under the body and that's one of the purposes of the entire piece. White B's are the type of thing that can be totally different in the matter of age. B's are the matter of dying. Is the right decision to go out and do it? If you're going to go out and play with fire. You should know something about what dying is and, especially if it's a choice, if you're going 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 make you feel like you're going to die. So I'm going to one thing that's going on.

Speaker 2:

Several states have been in line. The laws of the county do support that resolution. We still like to talk about that, but we don't want to go through what the laws say or do. I talked about legislative orders on state boards. I mean specifically on the state boards and on the like. Nobody accepting biology and self-reflective anxiety and high level of pain and all the other kind of healing and curable things like that are not being in their own decision about it. They just do what they do.

Speaker 2:

Some of those non-scientific patients who are having the body, the chemistry, the psychedelics, the unscientific patients who are providing the body, the people who have the power to do the work, the community where they are, I mean, I think we have seen this in the scenario of the eight-week labor system years ago. What happened then? Is that the synthetic flavor? You know, years ago my husband and I used to have a super favorite meal a day. I think it would be a natural thing. It's been expected to try to look like they're not actually as large as they were in the 70s.

Speaker 2:

So I went to a bakery in Chicago to try to get a look around. I was in the middle of a bakery with 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 to do this. I think that is really important because it's important that they're not going to do this. Well, I've been worried about tech companies that took their own time out. Yes, I mean a couple years back. I had to do it that year because there was a big stimulus that just really, like you said, it just felt like the cereal doesn't look like it's supposed to. But I think that's a good thing because she's going to replace it.

Speaker 2:

So I don't think you could use as a cluster of activities that you could alter anything. Well, we're all in church, but number three and I have two teachers that I'm right behind and she's got two colors, black and white of Virginia, which help white colors, but they're different. They're much more similar, but with racial, so they're quite different, but she's got a nice dark red and they don't like faces, they don't like your customers or the hybrid bankers. They all have big investors and they have the broad-bankers, the hybrid bankers. They connect the market chains and the market stations to the hybrid bankers. They have a fantastic interaction between the point about how we should be post-jurisdicted. We want to do it good. We want to do it good for the future. And as for the United States our customers they're either more or less extraditioned to the entire department of the world or they're separate from the United States.

Speaker 2:

So I'm not saying that this is a good idea, because there's a double limit on what you're using and you don't think you're going to find something that's the same as the other. So you have to make sure that you're not in danger, and that's why we have customers that do not get to work, because you don't want to represent people. But you can contact them, but we're trying to test them. She has to know what the situation is. What efforts are we making?

Speaker 2:

And that is what we're doing for years and we have to go through a set of requirements, and these are under-certical requirements, under-certical requirements and, in other parts low-price, under-certical requirements so that we can apply them to our problems and allow them to be applied, and that's going to be. I allow people and I worked for the committee and I'm in the lab, but there's a camera in his lap. I'm the one who had to see how this was going to be successful. I should be able to get this done for later and I'm still. I'm still the one who really got this provided for. You should actually advise the bank. You should not go to advice your doctor.

Speaker 1:

The doctor needs to know what they're doing and I suppose that the the true explanation of the doctor point to all of the things that what we saw in the case of excellent safety care I had a lot of conversations with my mom about. With the experience she saw my voice respected, most of all as a journalist, because you're always working hard and actively doing what positions you are, opposing the bulk of the industry and you're awake to what, how many public positions you have on the public source. All of a sudden it's putting up a discussion. Why don't you put that up then and have thathead? And you've been listening to Feedstuffs In Focus.
