Food Warning *Please Read*

[Escalabar]

Right, before you read this - Do not panic... read it carfully and then make your own desision.

There has been a health warning issued about a type of poison getting into a lot of food items in supermarkets.

Now the dye can cause Cancer, but the risk of it actually doing so is very, very small. The dye got into the food in the manufacturing stage I belive, and was then sent out to Asda, Tescos and Waitros without anyone knowing this posion was actually in the products.

To my knowledge all items have been removed from the shelves and everyone should check this list, to see if they have any of the items in question - http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1171557,00.html - REAED IT CARFULLY. If you have any of the items on the list get rid of them. Either bin them or take them back to the supermarket and you WILL get a full refund.

Remember, as it says in the news. The chance of getting anything from these inefected foods is so, so, so small. The only type of foods infected are the ones that contain chille poweder. Click the link above to see the full list of infected foods.

Please note: I am not posting this to scare anyone, I am posting it to make people aware and hopefully stop people from eating the infected products.

P.S - If you would like to read the news story for yourself then please click this link: http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1171545,00.html

I will keep you updated with any changes, as I work for Asda (UK supermarket)

Actaly thers evry littel that doesnt cause canser, even breathing can cause it, Its just very unlilly, the reson there band is becuse thers a signifcant risk, unliek the one in a billion form most things.

[Escalabar]

I'm sorry? I don't understand what your trying to say.

[Jamie]

Funny how most of them are junk food or ready meals ;p

[Escalabar]

Erm, not especially. I wouldn't call Seafood sauce, onion gravy, sausage caserol, shepards pie, cottage pie, bbq chicken etc - Junk food. Would you?

[Mentor]

What i bascily ment is There inst much that doesnt cause canser. Everything does, exspet the risk is VEry Very Very low. They only illiglise it if the risk is high enogh to be a real danger.
As people become more safty consiops more and moe foods cants be used, even thogh the one that they still are eating are just as bad.
People tend to overreact to this sort of thing. Its like geniotly modifed foods, people are worried if one opeopsn in a billion gets it off one, then go and drive of in there car wich are responible for 1000's of deaths each months.
Alot people just donet seem to keep prosepctive.

[Escalabar]

Well if there is a risk, like I was brifed about at work, then I do think we are keeping it in prospective by taking all the items off the shelves and alerting the customers.

[Hippygurl101]

Hes Right, Nowadays Anything can cause cancer- Were becomming an afriad nation of our own food. But it Is quite scary how such a big error could get into our foods without noticing. I think I may have eaten one of the products.. But Im reassured by the news theres little risk.

[Escalabar]

Yeah you are right. And right not to be worried about it, because it's a tiny tiny risk. :)

as long as you dont eat bongo drums you will be extremely fine! ;)

[la-ur-en]

I heard bongo drums are good for you, full of vitamin C :eusa_thin

Well Acataly In proseptive, i would disagree. as Starving people tend to be worse than a infanteimly low chance of having canser. As is strvition, everyone dies, food, 1 in a billion die.

[GommeInc]

Erm, not especially. I wouldn't call Seafood sauce, onion gravy, sausage caserol, shepards pie, cottage pie, bbq chicken etc - Junk food. Would you?
They're ready mills lol.

I am not that worried, Pistachio Nuts, Peanuts have a significant chance of giving you cancer, and I still eat them

[-JT-]

about 100.000 people go for UV treatment to parts of their body. It's well known that these types of radioation are prone to give you cancer yet the irony is that if used in the right places, UV can KILL the cancerouse cells.

If people go to the hospital and even tanning studios with the risk of cancer then why not eat this food with a 1 in a billion chance of giving you cancer. Plus its not even likely that the cancer will kill you, after all alot of cancer is treatable!

[Mentor]

The thing is, every freack, or mole on you is a form of canser, or a canseros cell, its just one thats mutated, no risk, its only went the mution causes the cell to replicate uncontrolbaly, where it beomces the killer causing tumors etc.

the 1 in a billion risk, isnt a quote btw, its just there to enphises its very unlikly

[Moose]

you get lead poisoning from food coloring (dye) so what? we get skin cancer from the sun, they don't "ban" te soon... and eye cancer who cares? just worry about your self.

[gregzilla]

thnx - you've probably saved my life cos o that post

[-JT-]

ok, heres the verdict - who cares?

[dj-ally]

-shakes- never want to eat again....... -shakes-

[Beeniee]

:o I eat ready meals?

[Hippygurl101]

Lol seriously I woulndt worry. I mean millions of people smoke every day and, another couple of million passively smoke by inhaling in there fumes. There risk of cancer everyhwere.. this is jsut a specialised scare. I mean 14 year olds can go off and use sunbeds (even though theres a legal age limit) and put themselves at risk. Were responsible for are own actions a majority of the time, and I read about someone condeming them for letting it happen.. Whatever way.. Fate is Fate.

[Escalabar]

Well what would you have expected us to do? Just have left them on the shelves and let everyone eat them? Oh please, get real.

[Mentor]

Supring as it is i also need to eat, so i would be eating to.

Starvaition = death very fast
Food = very very very low chance of getting somthing that mostlikly wont kill you.

Look Everyones going to die someday, its not like anyone sliving forever, eevery time you breath, you slowly killing yourself. But most people can see that if we dindt breath wed die one hell of a lot faster. so tend to continue :D

Ok, your just talking stupid now.

[Hippygurl101]

Is it me or did that make scary non sense.

[Mentor]

Ok, your just talking stupid now.
All is true, people dont live forvea you know.

[Escalabar]

All is true, people dont live forvea you know.

lol!! That is not the point. This topic is not to discuss how long humans live!
It is simply to spread the awarenes of this situation. I do not know why you have had to mix it up and make it all complicated.

[Jacko2kn3]

He wasn't implying people do not die, he was implying that if you just eat this stuff you COULD, as in there is a chance, die.

[Mentor]

But if you dont eat stuff as in any, theres not a chance you will die, its a garentee.

[Hippygurl101]

So If we eat infected foods.. chance we can die.. If we dont eat at all.. we will die. Should we eat infected foods then? Or kinda eat..but not realy. I mean I think the whole issue of this isnt really the small risk it has in many cases, but societies fear that in soem way such an accident like this has been able to happen.. Poisoning areselfves. Were a pretty fragile society and eventually were gonan start blaming others.
Indeed.

[Escalabar]

But if you dont eat stuff as in any, theres not a chance you will die, its a garentee.

Can you just stop it now, I think it is pathetic how you are stiring this up. As to what Jacko posted, that was right. I am spreading the awarness of all this food warning stuff. I didnt expect someone to go on how all foods make us 'die' because I dont belive that they do.

I think you should stop now Mentor because I am finding it hard to belive that you work for Habbox with such a stinking attitude.

[Moose]

escalabar, whose the one who started the thread? hmmm? anywho evryone has a saying in this thread so what if he/she has a different opinion? not all food will kill you... maybe because some foods you heard of was grown in radon soil... who knows?

[Jacko2kn3]

The paper today claimed we have been eating the food for over 16 months "/

[Mentor]

If people cant aknolage there own mortalilty i feel sorry for them, but humans dont have a little clock that cause them to sudenly die, everything sloly kills us, its how we work.
Ageing is cluased by breathing oxigen fox exsample, and that bascily killing ourselfs, yes it is biologicly possible to remove the need to die via enhancing the over all offinacy, but natures to clever for that, if we dont die nartaly evryon will die from over crowding. Humans went made to last, we were made to survive, and this is still do reasent for anysignifcant chnages to are evilortray make up to have changed

Everything could kill you, i may suddenly spontuily combust, the reason people dont worry is that this is so unimagnibly unlikly, evenything is probility, its possible for a human to walk threw a wall but this is so imbroable it will probly never happened. (unless at the quantom level)

Erm, yes I did start this topic as I have said many times, to spread awarness. Not debate the human life cycle *rolls eyes*

I think this topic should be locked now.

I accept that mortaility happens. I also like to beleive in optimism, I mean If were all going to die why dont we just do it now? I Feel that the biological approach side is too determinisitic. I feel other causes are at play but then I beleive in fate.
But thats a grim reality that not alot of people dont want to accept, They dont have to accept it do they? WE all know were going to one day die. Everyone knows that.. But not everyone has to accpet it.. Some people prefer to repress it.

Anyway How did a simple warning about food get so blown up?

id say media hype is why its so out of propetion, the papers were probly stuck for a story.

Anyway when i say where going to die, i dont mean soon, and serioly speking i personly woulnt like to live forever.
What i was trying to put over, is that where going to die, evently, so why wasit your life living in fear that you may suddenly be struk by lighning or sponuiusly combust? or maybe hit by a metior (1 in 5 billion chance).

Yes but can't you understand that this post is not about how and when we are going to die. It is to spread a message. Now lets just leave it now because I think this has gone on enough. :)

[MYKE!]

Oh no! Aldi r gonna lose a lot of money due to this! well, maybe they wont...
shut up.

[Escalabar]

I'm not sure if companies will be loosing money for it, maybe just the infected batches of items will be replaced with non-infected ones? Or refunds given?

[:-Mystical.Dave-]

In Canada, a big milk company accidentaly filled their chocolate milk up with this soap/vinegar mixture used to clean the pipes, but it accidentaly got into the chocolate milk :P :lol:

[Mined]

Juast eat good food and you will be ok

[Hippygurl101]

Arent Pot noodles good food?

[top.hat]

as long as there arnt spiders on my bananas i dont care

[Hippygurl101]

Oh My God.. I remember that. Everytime I have to unpack bananas at work I get freaked and have to search fro spiders.. cos ya never know.

[GommeInc]

Arent Pot noodles good food?
Yummy, but not healthy.

The Food Warnings mainly have something to do with Chilli Powder.

[Hippygurl101]

Yeah the colouring Sudan I is used in chilli powder.. Why.. Pot noodle is a stable diet. He Said we should eat good Non-infected food.. But poor little pot noodles have been taken away. Oh the Suffering.

[Escalabar]

Yep, it's called "Sudan 1"

Every day the list is growing with infected food items. It's going to get worse before it gets better, that's for sure.

If you are worried and want to know what is on the list, look for it on:

www.sky.com/news

[GommeInc]

Personally I dont eat Pot Noodles and most the I eat aren't in that list. I normally make my own food out of ingredients etc.

[Hanurr]

Can somebody tell me which countries this warning applies to? I live in New Zealand; will it affect our food?

[Escalabar]

No, it's only in the UK.

[TehJoshy]

This is about that SUDAM Won thing ain't it personally i wouldn't worry how long have you enjoyed Pot noodles etc ?

then gone to the doctor and just suddenly found out you have cancer?

[Hippygurl101]

It doesnt just 'give' you cancer.. its another one of the millions of things in this world that contribute to it

[Escalabar]

Hmm, havn't seen anything about it in the news recentley... anyone know what the situation is with it at the moment?

[Moose]

wow UK must really be un-healthy :s... Its also said lead is found in chili powder.

[:-Mystical.Dave-]

Lol, this kinda stuff never happens in Canada, but if it does there is either refunds, or they replace the food, or they say throw it out...
So I dunno bout the UK :s

[Moose]

i suggest to make your own chili, i perfer well i like powder... But i like making chili concactions my self... gahh this is confusing, it says mexican food is much healthier than Uk... and well its hard to know... becuase im mexican and i know what we eat :l

[:-Mystical.Dave-]

A Mexican American :o



Lol there's tons of them, just felt like going :o

[jesus]

Its only some pot noodles which contain it.
