Why
Pesticide residues may be found in vegetable-based foods, but the EU has set limit values for pesticides. An excessive level of the pesticide chlorpyrifos has been detected in this product. A health risk cannot therefore be ruled out. What matters is that consumers do not have a high intake of pesticides over a longer period. It is not the single meal that is decisive, but rather intake over a longer period. Consumers will therefore not experience acute symptoms.
What to do
If you have this product you should dispose of it or return it to the shop where you bought it.
