Cancer concerns over smoked food

**The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) says one of the flavourings used to smoke meat, cheese or fish, may be toxic to humans. **The authority looked at 11 smoke flavourings commonly used in the European Union.

It says several of the flavourings are dangerously close to levels which may cause harm to humans.

The European Commission will now establish a list of smoke favouring products that are safe for use in food.
