  1. Oh no, itโ€™s American.

    Banned chemicals

    Edit: also, I quickly grabbed it off the shelf at LIDL last week when my entire week was busy. I only realized it was American when my knife easily sunk into it this morning.

    The EU keeps strict maximum levels for contaminants in foods, including aflatoxins. Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915 sets tight contaminant limits, and the EUโ€™s own 2023 summary notes that maximum levels are set at strict levels considered reasonably achievable.

    Also, just less extra ingredients.
