After your comment, I looked it up and there is very little information about red dye 3 causing cancer. The only thing that I found was it caused cancer in extremely high doses in lab rats, which means absolutely nothing if there has been no studies on humans. Also, these peeps do not contain red dye 3. They contain Red Lake 40 which is apparently safer than Red 3.
Never realized these aren’t all that high calorie. I need to stop feeling so guilty after eating a couple packs of these.
Bet you could eat a hundred of them.
The absolute upper limit on the number of Peeps I can eat before I go into a diabetic coma is two.
And I’m sure as hell not wasting my two on Dr. Pepper Peeps.

They still contain Red Dye 3. At least until Easter is over. So…heads up. I’d stay away until then.
Shit is is super carcinogenic.

It’s banned in cosmetics and declared by the FDA to be carcinogenic. I’d rather not take my chances with anything containing it.
Good to hear these peeps don’t have it. I think the pink ones still do though.
