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

What is this? Some children’s ready-made meals from Austria may have tiny black nightshade seeds mixed in. These seeds can be harmful if eaten.

What's happening? Austria told other countries that some kids’ menu items might contain these seeds. Stores in several countries pulled the meals from shelves.

Does this affect me? If you bought a children’s ready meal in Austria, Germany, or nearby countries, check the package. It may be on the recall list.

What should I do? Do not feed the meal to a child. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice before giving any recalled food.
