What is this? Some dried fruit and other foods from Afghanistan were stopped at the border. They had dirty or broken packages and no date showing how long they stay safe.

What's happening? Latvia rejected these foods because they were not clean or properly packed. The foods may not be safe to eat.

Does this affect me? If you bought dried fruit or similar foods from Afghanistan in Latvia, check the package.

What should I do? Do not eat the food if the package is dirty or damaged. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell.
