CAFIA recommends all consumers who may have the given lots at home, they do not eat them. CAFIA ordered to immediately withdraw the foodstuffs from the market and entered the information on exported lots in the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF). The places where the products were distributed are subjects of further investigation. In the previous year CAFIA informed of similar detection in the press release.
