William, I was not saying I thought that the ban was really necessary, or very likely to cause cancer, but the food authorities do tend sometimes to be extra cautious. This is especially after one dye, called butter yellow, which was once (up to 1930s) often used to colour margarine type products, was found to definitely cause cancer in rats.
