Anyway, the dye is cast out, and manufacturers are shifting to a substitute: Red Dye No. 40, which the FDA considers safe. Several manufacturers, including Armour, General Mills, Nabisco and Revlon, say that they stopped using Red No. 2 long ago; others, such as Borden and Ralston Purina, are in the last stages of the changeover. General Foods, which used Red No. 2 in some flavors of JellO, Kool-Aid and Gaines pet foods, says it stopped a week before the FDA ruling...

Typical is Alan Biren, 23, of Roslyn, N.Y., a marketing major whose father is a salesman of printing equipment. He alternated study with selling groceries and toilet goods for Armour-Dial Inc., and he plans to join the company full time after graduation this June for about 20% more pay than a graduate of a traditional four-year college would receive. "The best thing I've learned," Biren says of his student career, "is how to communicate in selling."
