Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A type of flat fish called sole has been sold with a wrong label. The label says it is sole, but tests show it is a different fish.

What's happening? A check found that some sole from Morocco was mislabeled. The fish was not really sole.

Does this affect me? If you bought sole from Morocco recently, check the label. The wrong fish is safe to eat but not what you paid for.

What should I do? Ask your fishmonger or shop for the correct label. If unsure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
