What is this? Some herbal teas from Thailand may contain senna leaves. Senna is a plant sometimes used in teas, but it is not approved as a food ingredient in the EU.
What's happening? These teas were sold in several European countries, including Germany and the Netherlands. They may have been sent through the Netherlands even if bought elsewhere.
Does this affect me? If you have bought herbal tea from Thailand, check the label for senna leaves. People who drink these teas often may be at risk.
What should I do? Stop drinking the tea and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell. Do not buy or drink it again.
