What is this? A small amount of a farming chemical called buprofezin was found on some peppers from Turkey.
What's happening? Bulgaria told the EU that these peppers had a little too much buprofezin. The risk is low, but the peppers should not be sold.
Does this affect me? Only if you bought peppers from Turkey recently. Most stores have already pulled them.
What should I do? Throw away any Turkish peppers you still have. If you feel unwell after eating them, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
