Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some corn chips sold in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands may contain a type of corn that was changed in a lab. The package does not say it has this change.

What's happening? The chips were made in Egypt. They were sent to stores in these three countries. The shops have been told to take them off the shelves.

Does this affect me? If you bought corn chips in Belgium, Germany or the Netherlands, check the package. Look for a label that says “contains genetically modified corn.”

What should I do? Do not eat the chips if the package does not say it has genetically changed corn. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating them.
