What is this? Sweet lupine flour is a plant-based flour made from lupine beans. It can sometimes have small amounts of natural chemicals called quinolizidine alkaloids.

What's happening? A batch of sweet lupine flour from Germany was found to have these chemicals. The flour was sold in Austria but is now being taken back.

Does this affect me? If you bought sweet lupine flour in Austria, you may have some at home. Most people are not in danger, but it’s being recalled as a precaution.

What should I do? Stop using the flour and return it to where you bought it. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell after eating foods made with it.
