Cancer dye crisis spreads to 12 EU countries

The British food industry was once again emerging as the dirty man of Europe last night as UK foods contaminated with the illegal cancer-causing red dye Sudan 1 turned up in 12 EU countries.

Sudan I can contribute to an increased risk of cancer but at the levels present the risk is likely to be very small. There is no risk of immediate ill health but it is sensible to avoid eating any more.

Professor Alan Boobis, an expert in toxicology at Imperial College London says there is little reason for the public to be alarmed.

in this modern age of genetic engineering,
where you can buy alot of genetically modified food products,
you just never know what kind of long term damage this products do to you health.

this is just one of the few cases that were published by the news,
but i think there is much more then meets the eye...
