If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

1000 cans would be less than a year's worth for some people.

Doesn't Irn-Bru have some E numbers for the colouring? I'd love to see someone dare suggest they change the recipe for that. The Scots would (quite rightly) lynch them.

I've just seen a similar article on a different news site. Of course the figures are being cherry picked from all of the data but it does look like this will be just in California for now. As the component is just for the colour I doubt there would be any noticeable change in taste after a substitution.

The impression I get is that almost everything is know to the state of California to cause cancer, something the rest of the USA let alone the world quite frequently disagrees with.

California is known to cause cancer. They have far too much ionising solar radiation for one thing.
Presumably it's also against the law to roast a turkey in California, since the skin contains the same compound in higher quantities...

Shouldn't someone contact California, to advise them that too much Coke or Pepsi can*:Rot your teeth Make you fat Make you pee more Contribute to diabetes and other "too much sugar" related illnesses. etc. * I said can, but I am not stating anything as fact... is that OK for the x404 lawyers, (before California decides to sue our butts, or worse still, push to get me extradited)  _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now.
