Pot noodles and Dip's (Thousand Island dip) & seafoods.................included.

This SUDAN 1 banned in UK and Europe since 2003 - entered a batch of CHILLI powder used in Crosse and Blackwell Worcester Sauce made by Premier foods. The sauce was then added to more than 350 products.

Premier foods contacted the FSA after the alert was raised LAST MONTH. :-2

WHAT NEXT!!!!
It is good that we found out and weren't made to have it pass without notification. I've calmed down so we're ot goiNg to poison the wood. It wasn't the sauce makers fault Poor manufacturers.
