What is this? Cumin is a spice used in cooking. Sometimes it can have small amounts of natural poisons called pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
What's happening? Some cumin from India, sold in the UK and Ireland, may have these poisons. The problem has been fixed, but some old packages might still be in homes.
Does this affect me? If you have cumin bought in the UK or Ireland, you might have some. The risk is low, but it’s best to check.
What should I do? Stop using the cumin and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you’re worried. Throw it away or return it to the store.
