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 coconut milk from Thailand may have a hidden allergy warning. The label does not say it contains sulphite (also called sulfur dioxide or E220).

What's happening? A food check found sulphite in the coconut milk, but the label does not list it. This could harm people who are allergic to sulphite.

Does this affect me? If you live in the Netherlands, Aruba, Belgium, Curaçao, Romania, Spain, or Suriname and bought this coconut milk, you may be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the coconut milk. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after drinking it.
