FDA has not formally reevaluated safety of Red 40 in over a decade, FDA official says.

Agency has launched a new effort to take a second look at some previously approved additives.

Red 40 is a color additive first registered with the FDA in the 1970s .

The chemical is known as Allura Red AC in the food industry and E 129 in Europe .

California review finds synthetic food dyes can cause or exacerbate neuro-behavioral problems in some children.

FDA panel voted narrowly against a similar kind of warning in 2011 .

FDA : "Reassessing safety of chemicals in food as new, relevant data become available is a priority for the FDA ".
