What's happening? The Netherlands stopped some beans from Kenya at the border because they had acephate. The risk is low, but the beans cannot be sold.
Does this affect me? If you bought beans from Kenya recently, check where they came from. Most beans in stores are safe.
What should I do? If you are worried, ask your doctor or pharmacist before eating the beans.
