It couldn’t be more bizarre: as reported, tons of kebab skewers containing the dangerous salmonella species “Salmonella Enteritidis” were discovered in the backyard of a grocer in Linz. As of yesterday, Thursday, he had not yet had them completely destroyed – as ordered in a notice.
Instead of throwing it away, he would have preferred to send the rotten meat back to Poland. An idea that the Food Inspectorate immediately nipped in the bud because there was too great a risk that the skewers would come back into circulation afterwards.
Dealer meets requirements
The demands received by the dealer are currently being processed. He has had the refrigeration units criticized by the supervisory authorities checked and has now communicated the batch numbers of his meat to make it easier to identify and track. The wholesaler did not fully understand that he was forbidden to resell newly delivered meat before the contaminated batches had been destroyed.
Delivered kebab stalls were checked
Meanwhile, the food inspectors also received the data that the financial police had previously extracted from the backyard company. This made it possible to deduce, at least in part, where the trader had obtained the kebab skewers from and to whom he had sold them.
His customers also included a few kebab shop operators from Linz. These have all been checked and none of them could contain contaminated meat. Possible cause: The salmonella dies when the food is cooked (temperatures above 70 °C).
