What is this? A small jar of mixed vegetables with chicken and rice may have celery in it. Celery is an allergen that must be listed on the label.

What's happening? Some jars from Spain might have celery even though it is not written on the label. This could harm people who are allergic to celery.

Does this affect me? If you or someone in your family is allergic to celery, this could be a problem. The product was sold in Spain, Andorra, Equatorial Guinea, and Portugal.

What should I do? Stop eating the jar if you have celery allergy. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help.
