** Mailing-List Indonesia Nasional Milis PPI-India www.ppi-india.da.ru ** Beberapa menit lalu, berita gempar disiarkan TV China CCTV-9. Zatwarna SUDAN-1 (merah) yang digunakan dalam makanan ditindak tegas. Pabrik saus cabe digrebeg. Ditengarai sudah beredar di beberapa provinsi Cina daratan. Lagi CINA serius menangani masalah yang di Indonesia tak digubris. Badan POM dan YLKI saja ibarat singa loyo. Eh malah ributkan hal-hal sepele, sampai soal label halal eksesif rebutan hak. Dan rakyat/masyarakat terus DIRACUNI....untuk kurangi jumlah penduduk ? Waduh gimana nih ? Konon keadaan mau berubah ? hahaha --------- sekedar attachment Timg Sudan 1 is a red dye used to color polishes, waxes and solvents. It isn't meant to be used in food because it's carcinogenic. Europe is recalling ~500 food products because some Indian supplier put Sudan 1 in its chili powder. What about America? The FDA has been silent. If Indians use Sudan 1 in their foods, then what about Indian restaurants here? EU-wide chilli recall ordered Evening Standard 25 February 2005 The European Union has ordered all food companies in its member states to remove stocks of chilli powder that may be contaminated with the banned dye Sudan 1. It took action as China called for all food imports from the EU to be tested for the red dye, which can lead to an increased risk of cancer.... ----- Tracking down the rogue powder (Filed: 26/02/2005) The trail connecting the Indian consignment of contaminated chilli powder, pieced together over the past week, highlights the complexity of the food chain. Sept 2002: Gautam Export Corporation, Mumbai, exports contaminated chilli powder to British importer EW Spice Ltd, Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. 2002/3: Gautam Export later says the chilli was originally supplied by Volga Spice, Mumbai. Five-tonne consignment sold to East Anglian Food Ingredients, Clacton, Essex and resold to spice and herb specialists Unbar Rothon, Billericay. Batch subsequently sold to Premier Foods - company behind Branston, Typhoo, HP, Crosse & Blackwell and Sunpat. Chilli then used as ingredient in Crosse & Blackwell Worcester Sauce. May 2003: French scientists find traces of Sudan 1 in British food. Contamination traced to East Anglia Food Ingredients. Affected chilli powdered recalled. July 2003: Food Standards Agency asks local authorities to recall 25 products. Contaminated batch sold to Premier Foods slips through the net. July 2003 to Jan 2005: FSA issues 56 food hazard warnings and food alerts on Sudan dyes involving more than 200 products. Feb 2004: FSA reminds food industry to check chilli powder imported before July 2003. Jan 2005: Italian scientists detect Sudan 1 dye in Crosse & Blackwell Worcester Sauce. Feb 7: Premier Food informs FSA of the contamination. Feb 9: Premier Food tells FSA that five products could be affected by the scare. Feb 14: Premier Foods provides FSA with list of more than 160 customers in UK. Supermarkets start removing products. Feb 18: FSA issues first public warning and publishes list of around 360 products at risk. Feb 24: FSA's deadline to food industry passes. Total number of products rises to 474. <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/02- /26/nfood326.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/02/26/ixhome.html --------------------------------- Zxcvbob TimG wrote: > Sudan 1 is a red dye used to color polishes, waxes and > solvents.

You mean the China that exported crayons with lead pigments in them in 1994? With phony "non-toxic" safety logos on the packages?

BTW whatever happened to mandarin oranges? Every can of mandarin oranges is now imported from China. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
