What is this? Oyster sauce from China was stopped at the border because it did not follow EU rules for safe food.

What's happening? Spain found the sauce did not have the right checks for leftover chemicals. The sauce was not allowed into the country.

Does this affect me? If you bought this sauce in Spain, it may still be in your kitchen. Most people are not in danger, but the sauce should not be eaten.

What should I do? Throw away any oyster sauce from China or return it to the store. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell after eating it.
