What is this? Some pomegranates from Turkey have too much pesticide. The pesticides are acetamiprid, tebuconazole, cypermethrin, fenvalerate, and spirodiclofen.
What's happening? Bulgaria stopped these pomegranates at the border. The pesticides are not allowed at those levels.
Does this affect me? Only if you bought these pomegranates in Bulgaria. Most stores will not sell them now.
What should I do? Throw them away or return them. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel sick after eating them.
