What is this? A box of 12 small sweet cakes called “mignardises divines.” One of the ingredients may have too much pesticide called ethylene oxide.

What's happening? The cakes have been taken off sale because they break EU safety rules for ethylene oxide.

Does this affect me? If you bought these cakes in France, stop eating them and take them back to the shop.

What should I do? Ask the shop for a refund or exchange. If you feel unwell, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
