Red cheetos weren’t killing people, that’s why they looked into that. Cancer-can here, with a proven history of being deadly, would look a-ok to them if they were still made. They’d probably issue a fake commercial made under the name of whatever agency should definitely not approve of this where whey literally spray this on burning meat on a bbq then gobble it with a glass of old refried grease.
All I can find is a 1983 study on rats that show some negative effect on reproduction and physical activity with significant amount of it in their diet, while non-dose dependant effect where also measured. The sample was less than fifty rats for each group, and the results where all over the place (2.5% of the diet caused similar to more damage than 10% of the diet).
You’d have to eat ton of the stuff, almost exclusively, to even reach levels that are considered still safe for humans. Beyond that, it’s not more dangerous than chili.
