What is this? Ergot alkaloids are natural poisons made by a fungus that can grow on wheat. Wholemeal wheat flour may have these poisons if the wheat was not cleaned well.
What's happening? Some wholemeal wheat flour from France had too much of these poisons. Belgium found this and told stores to stop selling it.
Does this affect me? If you bought wholemeal wheat flour from France, you might have some at home. This does not affect all flour, just the kind from this recall.
What should I do? Do not eat the flour from the recall. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel sick after eating foods made with it.
