What is this? A red food dye called cochineal red A (E 124) is used in some Turkish-style garlic sausages. The dye must be listed on the label, but some packages do not show it.
What's happening? Some sausages from the Netherlands have too much dye and no label warning. This does not mean the food is unsafe to eat.
Does this affect me? Anyone who bought these sausages in Germany may have them at home. Check the package for the dye name.
What should I do? If you have the sausages, return them to the store. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating them.
