Title: Butter in Canada and food colouring
Post by: personman on July 29, 2011, 01:47:44 am

Note the spelling of "colour": you know you're Canadian when...
My question is whether the labels on canadian butter(store-bought) that say: "may contain colour" should serve as a warning to the consumer. I have heard rumours that yellow-6 might be contained in the butter and that this food-colouring can lead to alzheimers. Anyone know anything about this?

These food-preservatives/dyes are notoriously cancer-forming. Canthaxanthin in farmed fish is carcinogenic for example.

Thanks for the reply. Would you speculate that the "may contain.." on the label would likely imply harmful colour?

Likely. This implies at least occasional contamination, at the very least.
