SUMMARY: The FDA announced a ban on Red No. 3, a synthetic dye linked to cancer in animals, which is commonly used in various foods like candies and cereals. This decision is a win for consumer advocacy groups who petitioned for its removal due to cancer risks and potential behavioral effects on children.

SUMMARY: Mississippi officials are appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn an appellate court ruling that struck down the state’s five-day grace period for mail-in absentee ballots to arrive after Election Day.
