What is this? Rice from Pakistan has small amounts of a pesticide called chlorpyrifos. This is not allowed in food sold in Europe.
What's happening? Some rice from Pakistan was stopped at the border because it had too much chlorpyrifos. It was not sold in Belgium or France.
Does this affect me? No. The rice was rejected and never reached stores. No unsafe rice was sold.
What should I do? If you have rice from Pakistan, you can still eat it. If you are worried, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
