A shipment of red peppers exported from Albania to Slovenia has been urgently withdrawn from the market after laboratory tests revealed high levels of pesticides hazardous to health.
According to Slovenian authorities, the pesticides involved are acetamiprid, formetanate and flonicamid, which exceed the permitted limits. The product was imported into Slovenia between August 24 and September 4, and was distributed in cardboard and plastic boxes.
Customers are advised to return the product or throw it away. The Geaprodukt company, which imported the peppers from Albania, has ordered their immediate withdrawal from the market and has asked customers to return the product to the place of purchase, or if this is not possible, to dispose of it carefully themselves.
The company has also warned consumers who may have consumed or had contact with the peppers to wash their hands thoroughly and if they experience digestive problems or nausea, to seek immediate medical attention.
