    outcome
    Aufgrund der erheblichen sensorischen Abweichungen wurde die Probe als für den Verzehr durch den Menschen ungeeignet und somit als nicht sicheres Lebensmittel i. S. d. Art. 14 Abs. 2 Buchst. b i. V. m. Abs. 5 der Verordnung (EG) Nr. 178/2002 beurteilt. Nach Art. 14 Abs. 1 der Verordnung (EG) Nr. 178/2002 dürfen Lebensmittel, die nicht sicher sind, nicht in Verkehr gebracht werden. /// Due to the significant sensory deviations, the sample was assessed as unfit for human consumption and therefore as an unsafe foodstuff within the meaning of Article 14(2)(b) in conjunction with paragraph 5 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002. Under Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, food that is not safe must not be placed on the market.
