Only brands- BareBare's apple chips are about as simple as a packaged snack gets, and that part can be checked: PepsiCo's own SmartLabel page for the 3.4 oz bag lists a single ingredient, apple, with no color, sweetener, oil or preservative, which is why they are on our list of snacks without Red 40. The grade is acceptable rather than recommended because nothing on that label is a certification of what is in the bag. The two it carries, Non-GMO Project Verified and OU Kosher, each cover a single attribute, and we read neither on its certifier's register; the manufacturer's label carries no organic certification for this bag. The record is short and it is not about the apple chips. We found no FDA recall record naming a Bare product under any firm, and no CPSC record under Bare Snacks or Bare Foods, as of 2026-10-12. Two California Proposition 65 notices, in 2020 and 2021, alleged that Bare's beet chips and carrot chips were sold without the state's lead or cadmium warning. Both were settled out of court, and both settlements ended with the product being discontinued. Those are warning-label claims about root-vegetable chips Bare no longer lists, not findings about the fruit chips it sells today, and both are older than the three-year window this directory applies.

- Miss Jones BakingMiss Jones is the white frosting on our dye-free snacks page, and its organic claim checks out on the register: the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists "The Purple Mixer, LLC DBA Miss Jones Baking Co." as certified under Oregon Tilth since 6 July 2015, and the certificate names Vanilla Frosting, Chocolate Frosting, Cream Cheese Flavored Frosting and Confetti Pop Frosting alongside the brownie, cake, cookie and pumpkin mixes. We found no FDA recall under any Miss Jones or Purple Mixer name as of 2026-10-12. What keeps this at acceptable rather than recommended is a single California Proposition 65 notice. In August 2025 a private enforcer alleged that the Banana Bread & Muffin Mix was sold without the state's lead warning, and the company settled out of court in August 2026 for $44,000 with a commitment to reformulate or add warnings. That is a labeling claim about a mix we do not list and that is not on the organic certificate; it never reached a court, and Proposition 65's lead trigger sits far below FDA action levels. But it is a notice on the record, and this directory has kept recommended for brands with none. Brand

Only concerns & ingredients- Red Dye 40: What It Is, Which Foods Have It, and Is It Banned?Red Dye 40 is among the most widely used certified colors in the US, and the FDA has not banned it. Here is what it is, what the FDA has and has not done about it, and which foods have it, including the medicines, savory snacks and not-red products that decide whether a dye-free run works. Nineteen named products below, each read off the manufacturer's own panel and dated.Concern
- Safer products: start hereA directory of where to begin, by room and by question. This page has been SafeMama's index for years; it now points into the five departments rather than listing every article we have ever published.Concern
- The truth about artificial food dyes: what the evidence saysArtificial dyes add no flavor, no nutrition and no shelf life. They exist to make food look like something. That is the part worth sitting with — and the evidence is more specific, and more interesting, than either side of the argument usually admits.Concern

Only lists- Dye-free snacks that your kids will loveGoing dye-free usually stalls in the same three places, and none of them is the sweet aisle. It is the cheese-flavored things, the freezer, and the birthday table — where the color is doing a job nobody thinks to check.Guide
- BPA-Free Sardines: What Each Brand Says About Its CansAlmost no sardine brand writes "BPA-free" about its own cans. The ones that put anything in writing mostly say "no intentional addition", and more than half of the brands we checked say nothing at all. Here is the exact wording, brand by brand, and what we would buy.Guide
- Candy without Red Dye 40The hardest shelf in the shop to go dye-free on, because on candy the color is the product. Here is what actually works as a substitute — by format, since a child who asked for a gummy worm did not ask for a gummy bear.Guide
- Dye-Free Sprinkles: What's in Betty Crocker and Wilton, and What We'd BuySprinkles exist to add color, so a dyed jar usually lists several dyes at once. Here is what the label says on Betty Crocker's sprinkles and one Wilton mix, and the plant-colored sprinkles whose labels we read on the makers' own pages.Guide
- The best dye-free water flavorsSome water enhancers get their color from Red 40 or Blue 1 — in something you're pouring into a water bottle, not even a snack. We haven't surveyed the category brand by brand, so the point is that the panel is worth reading here too. Here's what actually gets kids drinking more water without the synthetic dye.Guide
