Hygiene deficiencies at food delivery service in Reinickendorf uncovered
As a result of an anonymous consumer complaint on food -related diseases after eating delivered dishes, the food supervision of the regulatory office recently examined a food delivery service in the Reinickendorf district. When checking at the start of operation, this had to be established, treated and placed on the market of prepared foods immediately and until further notice. During the inspection, food was discovered that did not meet the consumer protection guidelines and were no longer suitable for consumption. Among them were highly moldy self -made pasta and a refrigerator with moldy doughs and mold formation on plastic plates, which indicates hygiene defects.
District City Councilor Julia Schrod-Thiel (CDU) for order, environment and traffic emphasized the importance of such controls to protect the population. The marketing of hygienically stressed foods can be punishable, so preventive measures are of great importance. The control resulted in further food that is no longer consuming, numerous hygiene defects, structural defects and damaged equipment.
The food supervision immediately initiated official measures as a reaction. After an intensive night shift, the employees of the food delivery service were able to resume their business the next morning after thorough cleaning was carried out and the first structural defects were remedied. Further official steps are still to be expected. Consumers who have similar symptoms are encouraged to report them via the "Ordnungsamt Online" app or by email or by phone.It is important that companies that process and sell food comply with strict hygiene and quality standards to protect consumers' health. Consumers can be protected from potential health risks through such measures that could be caused by consuming polluted foods. Such controls help to restore and maintain the trust of the population in food safety.
