What is this? A food-safety notice says some products with L-theanine from Poland may have wrong health claims on the label.

What's happening? Germany told the EU that certain foods with L-theanine do not follow EU rules about what they can say on the package.

Does this affect me? If you bought a food or supplement with L-theanine in Germany, check the label for claims about health benefits.

What should I do? Stop using the product if it makes health claims that seem wrong. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure.
