Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some sesame bars from Bangladesh have honey that was not checked for safety by the EU. They also have an additive called E 321 that is not allowed.

What's happening? Italy found these bars at the border and stopped them from being sold. The problem is now fixed.

Does this affect me? Only if you bought sesame bars from Bangladesh recently. Most people are not affected.

What should I do? If you have any left, throw them away. For questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
