⚠️ FOOD RECALL – DUNNES STORES POTATO WAFFLES

If you have Dunnes Stores Potato Waffles (680g) at home, it’s worth checking the pack.

Dunnes Stores has recalled a specific batch of the product due to elevated levels of mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH).

🔴 Best Before: July 2028

Consumers are advised not to eat the affected batch.

MOAH are chemical compounds that can enter food during production or through food-contact materials. The recall notice says that eating the affected product does not pose an immediate health risk, but prolonged exposure to elevated levels may potentially pose a health concern.

👉 If you have them in your cupboard, check the batch details and don’t eat them if they are part of the affected recall.

Please share this so anyone who may have bought them sees the warning.

🇬🇷 GREECE HAS TOUGHENED ITS LAWS ON NGO INVOLVEMENT IN ILLEGAL MIGRATION

Greece has introduced tougher penalties for certain offences involving the facilitation of irregular migration — with NGO membership treated as an aggravating circumstance.

Here are the key facts:

🔴 Facilitating illegal entry or exit
An NGO member convicted of this offence can face at least 10 years in prison and a fine of at least €50,000.

🔴 Transporting undocumented migrants
Transporting an undocumented migrant can carry at least 10 years in prison and a €60,000 fine for each migrant involved.

🔴 Facilitating unlawful stay
Helping facilitate an undocumented migrant’s unlawful stay can carry up to 10 years in prison, depending on the circumstances.

🔴 NGOs themselves can be affected
The initiation of criminal proceedings against a member can potentially result in the NGO being removed from the official government register.

⚠️ But there is an important distinction:
This does not mean that an NGO worker automatically receives 10 years in prison simply for providing humanitarian assistance to a migrant. The law concerns specific offences involving illegal entry, exit, transport and unlawful stay.

The debate is therefore not simply about whether Greece should control its borders — it absolutely has that right.

The bigger question is where the line should be drawn between criminally facilitating illegal immigration and legitimate humanitarian assistance.

🇬🇷 Strong borders and humanitarian principles don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
