Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is a Nestlé chocolate-hazelnut Smarties snack called “Bûchettes Smarties.” Some batches made in 2019 and 2020 may contain too much ethylene oxide, a chemical used in gum-making.

What's happening? Nestlé has pulled these old snack packs from shelves because they have more ethylene oxide than the law allows.

Does this affect me? Only if you still have a 2019 or 2020 pack at home. All newer ones are safe.

What should I do? Stop eating it and take it back to the shop for a refund or throw it away. If you feel unwell, ask your pharmacist or doctor.
