What is this? Pistachios may contain tiny, invisible mould poisons called aflatoxins. These can be harmful if eaten over time.
What's happening? Bulgaria stopped some pistachios from Turkey because they had too much aflatoxin.
Does this affect me? If you bought pistachios in Bulgaria, check the bag or ask the shop.
What should I do? Throw away any pistachios that look or smell bad. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell after eating them.
