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 bags of potato snacks have passed their “best before” date. These snacks are sold in Spain but were made in the United Kingdom.

What's happening? Stores in Spain are being asked to remove these potato snacks from shelves. The snacks are past their safe eating date.

Does this affect me? If you bought potato snacks in Spain, check the date on the bag. You may have one of these packs at home.

What should I do? Do not eat the snacks if the date has passed. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating them.
