Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
Seeds of broccoli have been pre-germinated and analysed and found to be STEC-positive. Red clover seeds, alfalfa seeds and broccoli seeds have been pre-germinated together and then analysed as a single unit. This is why it can not be said which article is affected with stec or are they all affected.
