What is this? Some pickled ginger does not say it has a sweetener called aspartame. Aspartame has phenylalanine.
What's happening? A check found this missing label on ginger from China. Aspartame can harm people who cannot have phenylalanine.
Does this affect me? If you buy pickled ginger in Denmark or Sweden, check the label.
What should I do? Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need to avoid phenylalanine.
