What is this? Some sweets from Turkey sold in Germany have too much red food dye called erythrosine (E127). The labels on the packages are also missing or wrong.
What's happening? Germany found these sweets and told stores to stop selling them. The dye and labels do not follow EU safety rules.
Does this affect me? If you bought these sweets in Germany, check your package. The problem is only with the dye and labels, not the taste or safety of eating them.
What should I do? Do not eat them if the label looks wrong. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating them.
