What is this? Some mixed pickles from Türkiye have a hidden chemical called sulphur dioxide. This can cause bad reactions in people who are allergic to it.

What's happening? The pickles were sold in Greece but did not list sulphur dioxide on the label. This is against food safety rules.

Does this affect me? If you bought mixed pickles from Türkiye and are allergic to sulphur dioxide, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop eating the pickles and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell. Return the product to where you bought it.
