What is this? A shipment of passion fruit from Colombia was found to have a small amount of a pesticide called acephate. This is not allowed in food sold in the EU.
What's happening? The Dutch government stopped the fruit at the border because it had too much acephate. The risk is low, but the fruit cannot be sold.
Does this affect me? If you bought passion fruit from Colombia recently, check where it came from. Only fruit from this batch could be a problem.
What should I do? If you have any of this fruit, throw it away. Ask your local store if they have other passion fruit that is safe.
