What's happening? A check found ESBO in some cans of salmon. The amount is low, so the risk is small.

Does this affect me? This notice is for Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany. If you bought canned salmon there, check the recall.

What should I do? Do not eat the salmon if it is part of the recall. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you are worried.
