MIKE Foster's efforts to point out that Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce is safe has reached far and wide - all the way to Canada.

After tabling an Early Day Motion this week to heighten awareness that only Crosse & Blackwell sauce contains cancer-causing Sudan 1, he received an e-mail from Ray and Ramona Perry, of Vancouver.

"Thank you so much for letting everyone know that Lea & Perrins is not involved with the Sudan 1 scare," they said.

"We are expats in Canada, and have our Lea & Perrins.

Thank you very much for putting our minds at rest about THE Worcester sauce."
