Chess made clear allegations against the authorities, which he believed would have left the company. "The fact that you give a company no chance and deliberately flattened, that is - even in Bavaria - unique," he explained according to the "dpa". Accordingly, the urgent desire for a "round table" with all authorities for the purpose of talking about the future prospects of the company "rigorously rejected" had also been the results of other samples "for me obviously aware" was denied criticized the CEO. In addition, he pointed out that all positive tested samples were below the legal limit and those from the company had been negative. According to the report, "the butcher shop still does not know where the place of collection of these Listeria is," according to the report.
Listeriosis can take a difficult course in immunodeficiency
The district office Bad Tölz had issued on May 27, a ban on sales of products of the butcher and initiated a nationwide recall for all products of the company. Previously, listeria had been detected in several samples of ham and sausage. These are rod-shaped bacteria of the genus Listeria, which can reproduce even at low temperatures (for example in the refrigerator) and are killed by cooking, roasting, sterilizing and pasteurizing. In healthy people, a Listeria infection usually takes a harmless course with some flu-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, vomiting and diarrhea. In babies, old and immunocompromised people, however, the so-called "listeriosis" can have serious consequences and in the worst case even lead to death. (No)
