What is this? Greece found a problem with some food containers made from recycled plastic. The plastic may not have the right papers to prove it is safe.

What's happening? Greece stopped some containers from Türkiye at the border. The containers might not meet safety rules for food use.

Does this affect me? If you bought food in Greece in containers from Türkiye, check the label. Look for recycling marks or safety marks.

What should I do? Ask your local store or a food safety expert if the container is safe. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns.
