The Food Standards Agency is today advising people not to eat foods that have been inadvertently contaminated with an illegal dye, Sudan I. This dye was in a batch of chilli powder used by Premier Foods to manufacture a Worcester sauce, which was then used as an ingredient in a wide range of products.
Sudan I could contribute to an increased risk of cancer and it is not possible to identify a safe level or to quantify the risk.
A list of affected foods is provided at www.food.gov.uk/sudanlist and will be updated as further information becomes available.
