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 jars of pickled Babur peppers with yoghurt may contain sulphur dioxide. This is a preservative that can harm people who are allergic to sulphites.

What's happening? The product was sold in Switzerland but had no warning on the label about the sulphur dioxide. The company has now fixed this.

Does this affect me? If you are allergic to sulphites, you could have a bad reaction. Check your cupboard for this jar.

What should I do? Do not eat the peppers. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating them.
