What is this? Some jars of sardines in vegetable oil from the Netherlands have labels that do not follow the rules.

What's happening? Germany found these labels do not show all the required information. The fish itself is safe to eat.

Does this affect me? Only people who bought these sardines in Germany need to check their jars.

What should I do? Look at the label on your jar. If it is missing details, return it and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have questions.
