Strictly speaking it isn't banned in the EU, it is banned in the EU _with the exception of processed cherries_. Quite why the cocktail cherry industry was considered so critical that it received a specific exception is unclear.

I think it would mean at the time of the ban, the alternative red dyes that were available didn't work well with processed cherries.
