What is this? Some pistachios from Ukraine may have mold toxins called aflatoxins. These can be harmful if eaten a lot.

What's happening? Poland found too much aflatoxin in these pistachios. The nuts were stopped at the border.

Does this affect me? Only if you bought these pistachios in Poland. Most stores should not sell them.

What should I do? Throw them away. If you ate them and feel sick, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
