What is this? Some tomatoes from Turkey have a small amount of a pesticide called indoxacarb. This is not allowed in the EU.

What's happening? Romania found too much indoxacarb in these tomatoes. The risk is low, but the tomatoes should not be sold.

Does this affect me? If you bought tomatoes from Turkey recently, check them. If you have any, do not eat them.

What should I do? Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell after eating these tomatoes.
