Foods with outlawed dye still on sale in Edinburgh

Shops in Edinburgh have been caught selling foods banned during last month’s Sudan 1 cancer dye scare.

Food safety officials warned 2400 businesses to clear their stock of contaminated goods nearly five weeks ago... But safety checks have found that some of the banned items still on sale.

As seems usual in the UK these days, store owners have been 'warned' when they should have been 'prosecuted'.
