Spanish authorities have issued a warning about a shipment of pepper imported from Morocco, stating that it contained high levels of the dangerous insecticide, chlorpyrifos, which is not licensed in the EU. The substance was detected at a rate of 0.105 mg/kg, exceeding the EU's permitted limit of 0.010 mg/kg.
