I still can recall my experience of the suspect of sales of Poison Dye in Singapore in the 60's.
My dad don't read english, neither his General Manager. Since my dad is the wholeseller & importer of food & ingredients. naturally he would includes the sales of dye for those food manufacturer's such as biscuits, Bean Cake, Soft Drinks..etc. THe Dye actually made in UK & he purchased from another importer of these items.
Then , he was serve a notice for selling the Poison Dyes. partly because of my dad relationship with the government then the case was actually close in 6 months.
So i want to remind all that beware of what you eat , especially tofu if it is with yellow dye or brown dye, please check the label first for your Great Health!!

NICOSIA, Feb. 22 (Xinhuanet) -- Cyprus health services have advised people not to eat foods imported from Britain that have contaminated an illegal dye named Sudan I, local press reported Tuesday.
The advice came after Britain's Food Standards Agency (FSA) lastweek issued a warning that some 350 food products may be affected and should be withdrawn from the shelves.
The foods, including soups, sauces and ready meals, have been distributed widely.
The Cypriot Health Ministry has advised consumers not to eat contaminated foodstuffs, and restaurants, takeaways and hotels not to serve these food.
The restaurants and hotels should also report to the authorities whether they have already purchased any affected product.
Sudan I is a red dye used for coloring solvents, oil, waxes, petrol and shoe and floor polishes. It is not allowed to be added to food in the Europe Union. Enditem
