EU Tightens Importation Checks on Black Pepper from Brazil and Peanuts from India
The European Commission has tightened up checks on black pepper from Brazil, due to Salmonella, and peanuts from India because of aflatoxins.
These as well as other products entering the European Union (EU) from non-EU countries are now subject to a temporary increase of official controls. Revised legislation has also seen some checks become less strict.
