What's happening? Italy told the EU that some fish from Malta might have these worms. The risk is low, but it’s good to be careful.
Does this affect me? If you bought scabbard fish from Malta, especially in Italy, Malta, or Poland, check it before eating.
What should I do? If you’re unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist before eating the fish. Cook fish well to kill any worms.
