Hi again to everyone. Many thanks for all who have replied about my query about batter colouring. I am not surprised that it was withdrawn from sale for containing saltpetre. Wow! Those were meals which could have gone with a 'bang'. I felt sure that my mom had said there was some health reason it wasn't available any more. That's my lesson for today, and once again, many thanks to everyone. Best wishes Pat Allen in Leicestershire.
