What is this? Some vegetable drinks from Turkey have too much benzoic acid (a preservative) and do not list it clearly on the label.
What's happening? Germany and France found these drinks with high benzoic acid and poor labeling. The risk is not serious, but the products do not follow EU rules.
Does this affect me? If you bought vegetable drinks from Turkey in Germany or France, check your cupboard.
What should I do? Stop drinking them and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell.
