Dodgy die in food recall terror - Feb 22nd 2005
One of the firms at the centre of the contamination of food with an illegal dye was involved in a similar scare two years ago, food safety officials say.
This food recall is the biggest the UK has seen. Worries that we've been eating this carcinogen for months will do nothing to calm people's worrys about food safety.

However it is clear from this that highly processed foods are more at risk - purely because they contain more ingredients which ups their odds of contamination.

It is with concern we note that Worcester Sauce has been affected too - this is a kitchen staple which adds flavour to soups and stews for a lot of people.
