What is this? Mate tea is a drink made from dried leaves. The labels on some mate tea from Argentina do not have the right information.

What's happening? Germany found that some mate tea labels are missing or wrong. This is a paperwork problem, not a safety issue.

Does this affect me? If you bought mate tea in Germany, check the label. Only some packages are wrong.

What should I do? Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure. Return the tea if the label is missing or wrong.
