What is this? A bag of pigeon food from Belgium was wrongly labeled as a special diet food.

What's happening? Germany found the wrong label and told Belgium. The feed is safe to use.

Does this affect me? Only if you bought this pigeon feed in Germany.

What should I do? Check the bag. If it says “dietetic feed,” do not use it for pigeons. Ask your pet store or a vet for help.
