Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
In der Probe konnten im Durchmesser 3 mm große dunkelgrüne wachsartige Fremdkörper nachgewiesen werden.Eine genaue Identität konnte weder durch eine Aufnahme eines Infrarotspektrums noch durch Mikroskopie ermittelt werden. Die Partikel werden jedoch nicht als natürliche Bestandteile der Würzmittelpaste angesehen und als Fremdpartikel beurteilt. Aufgrund der Fremdpartikel ist die Probe als nicht zum Verzehr geeignet zu beurteilen. ///Unofficial translation: Dark green waxy foreign bodies 3 mm in diameter were detected in the sample. An exact identity could not be determined either by recording an infrared spectrum or by microscopy. However, the particles are not considered natural components of the condiment paste and are judged to be foreign particles. Due to the foreign particles, the sample is to be assessed as not fit for consumption.
