Most chocolate you buy on the shelf does not have red dye, however, the one chocolate I've found that consistently has red dye 40 is the chocolate syrup used for smoothies and chocolate shakes found at restaurants. Not sure if it's in donuts or if they use this syrup in other baked goods. This does not apply to Hershey's syrup. I have yet to find them in chocolate chip cookies or most brownies. At the end of the day, you do have to rely on your ingredient list.

Is red dye dangerous?
I'm not sure you would call it dangerous, but I myself became allergic to FD&C red dye #40. It was in several of the pink liquid antibiotics I took when I was young. I kept breaking out in hives and they thought I was becoming allergic to the antibiotics. We figured it out when I had a single slice and bake sugar cookie with a red snowman in the middle. A half hour later I was starting to itch. I don't think I've had an episode since (as far as hives go) but I've found that I'm sensitive to any strong concentration of dye--they taste HORRIBLE.
