Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A box of six vanilla-caramel ice-cream cones with pecan nuts made by the brand Argel.

What's happening? Some batches have too much ethylene oxide in the guar gum used to thicken the ice cream. This is not allowed in Europe.

Does this affect me? If you bought these cones in France, check the box. If it says “réservé,” do not eat them.

What should I do? Stop eating them now. Throw the whole box away or return it to the shop. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell.
