I don't know how many people heard about this, but there was recently a health scare in the UK regarding a food additive called sudan-1

Basically it can cause cancer, and was inadvertantly added to about 400 different products, all of which had to be removed from the shop shelves.

Just another reason to avoid processed food.

true

but the quantity you need to eat is so high that is highly unlikely to have any effect if you have had a meal or 2
this stuff was only made illegal in EU a few years back
