What is this? This is about yuca (also called cassava) that has a food additive called E 905 used as a coating. E 905 is a wax-like substance sometimes added to fruits or vegetables.
What's happening? Spain stopped some yuca shipments from Costa Rica because the additive E 905 was used. The safety of this is not clear yet.
Does this affect me? If you bought yuca in Spain recently, check if it came from Costa Rica. Other yuca is fine.
What should I do? If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist before eating it.
