It often takes a while to flush out the real victims of a crisis, and the Sudan 1 food scare is no exception. In the London Evening Standard, a spokesman for the Sudanese embassy moans that the name given to the carcinogenic dye "conveys a negative image" of his country. How very true. There are those who think the whole genocide thing plays a little worse, but have they seen the damage Sudan 1 is doing to the country's tourism image amongst Waitrose shoppers? Well, have they?
