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 pet food was found with CBD, a plant ingredient sometimes used in human products. The law does not allow CBD in pet food yet.

What's happening? Austria told shops to stop selling certain pet foods with CBD. The foods may have wrong labels that say they help with diseases.

Does this affect me? Only if you bought pet food in Austria that lists CBD or disease claims. Most regular pet foods are safe.

What should I do? Check your pet’s food bag. If it has CBD or disease words, stop using it and ask your vet or pet shop for advice.
