The Health Services of the Ministry of Health have already informed the company that repackages and distributes the product in question in the Cypriot market, with instructions for immediate recall / withdrawal from the market.

However, because some of this batch may already be in the possession of consumers who have an allergic reaction to celery consumption, they are urged to avoid consuming it and return it to the places where they bought it.

The Health Services cooperate with the Veterinary Services for further investigation of the issue.
