18、products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled.

Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudans Embassy in China, explained the purpose of t

19、he inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye. We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there, she said.

They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name, she said. People found the dye in 1883 and

21、gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out.
