What is this? Rice from Pakistan has a small amount of a pesticide called imidacloprid. This is not allowed in food sold in Finland.
What's happening? Finland stopped some rice from Pakistan at the border because it had too much imidacloprid. The rice was not sold to people.
Does this affect me? No. The rice never reached stores, so you did not buy or eat it.
What should I do? If you have rice from Pakistan, check with a store or your doctor just to be safe.
