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 lollipops from Honduras have a banned food colour called titanium dioxide. The labels do not say this colour is in the sweets.

What's happening? Spain found these lollipops and told shops to take them off shelves. The sweets are not safe to eat.

Does this affect me? If you bought these lollipops in Spain, you may have them at home. Check the wrapper for “caramelos con palo.”

What should I do? Stop eating them. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell. Throw the sweets away or return them to the shop.
