What is this? Some biscuits from Bosnia and Herzegovina have too much acrylamide. Acrylamide is a chemical that can form in starchy foods when they are cooked at high heat.
What's happening? Croatia stopped these biscuits at the border because they had high acrylamide levels. The problem has been fixed, so the biscuits should no longer be sold.
Does this affect me? If you bought these biscuits in Croatia, you may have eaten them. They are no longer in stores.
What should I do? If you are worried, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
