whist reading up on maggot making facilities i found the following statement.
"Several dyes used in bait breeding are suspected carcinogens (substances that cause cancer). Auramine and rhodamine are known to cause cancer in animals. Chrysoidine dyes cause cancer in animals and have been shown to cause cancer in coarse fishermen. Although these and other dyes do not carry the R45 risk phrase "may cause cancer" under the Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Dangerous Substances Regulations 1984 they should be handled as if they carried the risk phrase...."
These substances used in maggot making are known to cause cancer in animals and some even known to cause cancer in coarse fishermen yet they don't carry a health warning!!!!
Am I missing something here?
Here is a paper from the health and safety executive stating that these substances are known to cause cancer yet they don't see that they have to tell people!!
for the full text you can read it here. Yes it is a government website!!
