Red M&Ms
Red M&M's ®
Manufactured by Masterfoods USA / M&M Mars
There are approximately 500 Red M&M's ® per pound
Here's a fun trivia fact...
Red M&M's ® were discontinued for 11 years from 1976 to 1985 after the FDA banned Red Dye No. 2, even though Red M&M's ® did not contain this dye. They have always used Red #'s 3 and 40!
Many consumers protested, and a student at the University of Tennessee (Paul Hethmon, the photo editor on the student newspaper, the Daily Beacon) started a society for the Restoration and Preservation of Red M&M's.®
Red M&M's ® were reintroduced at about the same time as glasnost and the crumbling of the anti-Red scare.
Focus groups were held to decide the correct proportions for the gradual reintroduction of the banned variety during the Christmas season of 1985.
The new proportions were 30% brown, 20% red, 20% yellow and 10% each of orange, green and tan for plain M&M's.
