What is this? Some diet pills and protein powders say they help your health. They may have a chemical called beta-alanine. The labels on some of these products make health claims that are not true.

What's happening? Poland told other EU countries about these products. They say the health promises on the labels are wrong. The products may not be safe to use.

Does this affect me? If you buy diet pills or protein powders in Poland or Germany, check the label. You may have one of these products.

What should I do? Stop using the product if it makes health claims. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before you use any new supplement.
