What is this? A food notice about pimentos (peppers) from Morocco. The notice says there is a small amount of a pesticide called fenazaquin.
What's happening? Portugal stopped some pimentos at the border because they had too much fenazaquin. The risk is low, but the peppers were not allowed in.
Does this affect me? If you bought pimentos from Morocco recently, check where they came from. Only peppers from Morocco may be affected.
What should I do? If you have these peppers, throw them away or return them. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell after eating them.
