What is this? Peanut butter from the United States may have a harmful mold called aflatoxins. These can make people sick if eaten in large amounts.
What's happening? Belgium stopped some peanut butter at the border because it had too much aflatoxin. The problem has been fixed, but some products may still be in stores.
Does this affect me? If you bought peanut butter from the United States, check if it was recalled. Most people are not at risk, but children and older adults should be careful.
What should I do? If you have peanut butter from the United States, ask your pharmacist or doctor if it is safe to eat. Do not eat it if you are unsure.
