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 ice creams may have too much pesticide called ethylene oxide in a plant seed used to keep them smooth.

What's happening? The seed from one supplier had too much of this pesticide, so the ice creams are being taken off shelves.

Does this affect me? If you bought ice cream in France, check if it has this seed in it.

What should I do? Stop eating it and take it back to where you bought it. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell.
