Pictured above, is Susie having an adverse reaction to Red40. Toby Fox stated in an interview, "I think it's important to recognize the benefits and harmful effects of Red40, so I tried to represent that in Deltarune."

I was eating gummy bears and suddenly thought of alcor gummies. The wings are raisin flavored btw (the stars are either lychee or some sort of citrus)

Is pain the greatest virtue? I crave to suffer a cycle I love the taste spill from the goblet of truth… greatest knowledge of known realities come shining to my eye when confronted with the raw sloppy taste of pain…

GUYS IM STARTING A CAMPAIGN

I WANT TO EAT SPICY LIME CHEETOS AND TAKIS WITHOUT RED40

I'm not even asking for all the red40 products removed but I would really appreciate it if Takis and the Flamin' Hot companies could make red40-less versions of their products.

I think it would be fantastic, so if you are into this too spread the word

[acti-veg]

Hi, I was wondering about your opinion on red 40. I avoided it because I thought it was the same as carmine, but I found out that in terms of content it's vegan. But then I found out that it was tested on animals continuously because of potential health risks. After I thought about it for a while, I figured that reducing the demand for red 40 would not reduce the demand for its testing. What do you think about this conclusion?

I’ve answered a question about Red 40 more generally here, which you may find helpful. As for lowering demand, I think that it’s best to avoid every animal tested product that we can, though that won’t be possible all the time. Strictly speaking, boycotting products using an ingredient you don’t like should work the same as avoiding animal based ingredients, if it is done by enough people.The issue is that many food colourants are tested on humans continuously, and almost all of them have been in the past, so it’d be pretty impractical to avoid them all. 

Your best bet if you’re worried about it having an impact is to email the companies directly and let them know what issues you have with the ingredient, and explain why you are no longer buying the product. This doesn’t take long, and while they likely won’t listen, just registering your view on it can be surprisingly effective, and I’ve had email responses from supermarkets when making similar enquiries.
