What is this? Some basmati rice from Pakistan has too much of two farming chemicals called chlorpyrifos and flutriafol.

What's happening? Poland stopped these two rice types at the border because the chemicals were above safe limits.

Does this affect me? If you bought basmati rice from Pakistan, check the package or ask the store.

What should I do? Do not eat it. Return it to the shop or throw it away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell.
