What is this? Fish meal is a powder made from fish used in animal feed. Dioxins are harmful chemicals that can sometimes be found in fish meal.
What's happening? A small amount of fish meal from Latvia had too much dioxin. Latvia told other countries to check their supplies.
Does this affect me? This recall was for animal feed, not human food. It may affect pets or farm animals that ate the feed.
What should I do? If you feed animals, check with your vet or feed supplier. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.
