Banned substances found in tomato paste in Ghana, KNUST study concludes

Erythrosine, also called Red Dye No. 3, is used as a colourant in various foods, including toffees, candies, and drinks. On the labels of these products, it may simply appear as "Number 3." The Ghana Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) does not permit the substance to be used in the production of tomato paste. This is because it has been found to cause various health conditions and is not allowed in tomato paste production. Starch is also prohibited in tomato paste formulations.
