What is this? This is about a food called “Culatello di Zibello,” a special Italian meat that has a protected name. It is made from pork.
What's happening? Italy told the EU that some of this meat was sent to Belgium by mistake. The meat did not follow the strict rules for the protected name.
Does this affect me? If you bought this meat in Belgium, it is safe to eat. The problem was only about the name, not the food itself.
What should I do? No action is needed. If you have any questions, ask your local food shop or a food safety expert.
