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...171557,00.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...171545,00.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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
