What is this? Some pangasius fish fillets from Vietnam have a wrong label. They list a food additive called sodium carbonates (E 500) that is not allowed.
What's happening? Germany told the EU about this mistake. The fish came through the Netherlands but was sold in Germany and the Netherlands.
Does this affect me? If you bought pangasius fillets from Vietnam, check the label for E 500. Otherwise, there is no risk.
What should I do? If you are worried, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Return the fish to the store if you see E 500 on the label.
