Will red M&Ms go away? Or will they find a replacement? No difference or slight change of shades?

In 1976, Mars, the candy company that makes M&M’s, eliminated the red version of the candies from their mix. This decision came as a result of public controversy surrounding a synthetic dye called FD&C Red No. 2…

“The red food coloring in question was not actually used in M&M’s chocolate candies,” according to mms.com. “However, to avoid consumer confusion, the red candies were pulled from the color mix.”

Nobody says verboten in China, not even at the German embassy. The proper word is Jìnzhǐ

Any idea how to pronounce that?

I only speak German, and English
