What is this? Limes from Brazil may have a pesticide called chlorpyrifos. This is not allowed in the EU.
What's happening? Some limes sold in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Romania had too much chlorpyrifos. They were taken off store shelves.
Does this affect me? If you bought limes from Brazil, check where they came from. If unsure, do not eat them.
