I don't understand what the differences are red, yellow, blue etc are, and why only red coloring is unsafe. I normally shop at Costco, Sam club, Safeway, giant, trader Joe and Asian supermarket.

Start reading ingredients. You should understand what each word says. Red yellow and blue are literally colors used to dye foods certain colors - the dyes are ALL bad. They are banned in the EU, I believe. The US has very lax standards for food safety.

Aldi as well, but only for their branded items. Name brand items from other companies can have dyes. For what it’s worth I didn’t know this for the longest time and it never occurred to me things were colored differently.

That's okay - until I went to a farmer's market for the first time in my early 30's I had no idea Brussel sprouts were grown in the ground, on a branch type thing. Learning is good.
