What is this? A shipment of tuna fillets meant for raw eating may have too much histamine. Histamine is a natural substance that can build up in fish.

What's happening? The fish came from Sri Lanka. It was sold in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Hong Kong. The amount of histamine might be unsafe.

Does this affect me? If you bought fresh tuna fillets to eat raw, you could be affected. Check the package or ask the shop.

What should I do? Do not eat the fish raw. Return it to the shop or throw it away. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell.
