What is this? Some packs of Spanish confit beef cheeks have two different labels. One label says the meat is cooked. The other says it is raw.

What's happening? Belgium found these mixed-up labels on beef cheek products from Spain. This could cause confusion about how to cook the meat safely.

Does this affect me? If you bought Spanish confit beef cheeks in Belgium, check the label before you cook or eat them.

What should I do? Do not eat the meat until you confirm how to cook it safely. Ask your local shop or a doctor or pharmacist for help.
