What is this? Some beans from Peru have too many bean weevils inside them. Bean weevils are small bugs that can live in dried beans.
What's happening? Croatia stopped a large shipment of these beans at the border. They found many weevils inside the beans.
Does this affect me? If you bought dried beans from Peru, check them for bugs. This only affects beans from that shipment.
What should I do? Look at your beans carefully. If you see bugs, throw them away. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel sick after eating them.
