The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has warned that two brands of chili oil may contain the banned food colour Sudan 1 and should not be consumed.

04/04/05 The Sudan 1 Scare, which first gripped the attention in the UK has now also spawned a recall in Canada. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has warned the public that two brands of chili oil may contain the banned food colour Sudan 1 and should not be consumed. Sudan 1 is a red dye that has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals.

The products -- Koon Yick Wah Kee Brand Chilli Oil and Giant Tree Brand Chilli Oil -- were distributed in Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia and perhaps Ontario from April 2004 onward by importer Le Kiu Importing Co. Ltd. of Vancouver.
The company is voluntarily withdrawing the products. The agency is monitoring the recall.
