What is this? Some corn crisps from Guatemala were sold in Belgium and the Netherlands. They may have been made from corn that was changed in a lab (genetically modified), but the package did not say so.

What's happening? The crisps were sent from Guatemala to the Netherlands, then to Belgium. The seller did not put a label that says "genetically modified" on the package.

Does this affect me? If you bought these corn crisps in Belgium or the Netherlands, you may have eaten them. The risk to health is low.

What should I do? Check your cupboard for the crisps. If you find them, throw them away. If you are worried, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
