and in reference to this Sudan 1 thing, as a worker at the front line of food retail, AND as a pharmacologist.
I say, that its probably not as bad as it seems. To get cancer from sudan 1, you'd probably have to eat a lot of it, on a regular basis for a prolonged amount of time, before you'd even begin to start developing cancer of the bowel or something. Think of cigarettes, the stuff in them is HIGHLY carcinogenic with a greater chance of causing cancer with sudan 1, but a lot of people are happily getting by 
The amount of it that is in food, is extremely small. If you look up the risks for Aspartame (the sweetener in diet coke) that is also attributed to health risks (even cancer iirc), but you'd have to have so much of it.
So in summary, if you've eaten anything with it in, don't worry too much, but i'd avoid eating 10 more packs of pot noodle, only eat a few more
