Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
Salmonellen in 250 g nachweisbar; der Warnwert der DGHM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie) ist überschritten. Da es sich um patoghene Mikroorganismen handelt, kann eine Gesundheitsgefährdung des Verbrauchers nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Gemäß Artikel 14 Abs. 1 und 2 der VO (EG) Nr. 178/2002 dürfen Lebensmittel, die gesundheitsschädlich sind nicht in den Verkehr gebracht werden. Somit ist die Probe als nicht verkehrsfähig zu beurteilen. ///unofficial translation: Salmonella has been detected in 250 g; the DGHM (German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology) warning threshold has been exceeded. As these are pathogenic microorganisms, a risk to consumer health cannot be ruled out. In accordance with Article 14(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, foodstuffs that are harmful to health must not be placed on the market. The sample must therefore be deemed unfit for sale.
