What is this? Some dried plants and roots from Ghana may have bugs or tiny worms in them. They are sold as food but are not on the list of allowed new foods in Europe.
What's happening? Italy stopped these products at the border because they were imported without the right papers. Some packages had live insects inside.
Does this affect me? If you bought dried gari, yam, cocoyam, or prekese from Ghana, check your package.
What should I do? Do not eat it. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating it.
