Pest infestation and hygiene defects: Veterinary and food supervision closes four companies in Reinickendorf
In the past few weeks, four food companies in Reinickendorf have had to temporarily close, due to serious hygienic defects and strong pest infestation. These measures were carried out by the veterinary and food supervision of the district office after inspections on site. Charging can be potentially harmful to health by being able to trigger allergies and asthma.
The district councilor for order, environment and transport, Julia Schrod-Thiel (CDU), commented on the unusual accumulation of these incidents in a short period of time and emphasized that the companies can usually be opened quickly after removing the defects. In the event of a strong pest infestation, however, a longer closure may be required because professional pest control must be carried out.
The supervisory authority continues to plan regular inspections to ensure compliance with legal requirements and the protection of consumers. Consumers' health is a top priority, and the response will be reacted to immediately in the event of violations of hygiene regulations. The temporary closure of companies is considered a drastic but necessary measure to ensure the safety of the food and ensure that the companies can only resume their operation after the defects are eliminated.
historical parallels:
There are historical parallels to similar incidents in the past in which food companies had to be closed due to pest infestation or hygienic defects. A well -known example is the so -called gammel meat scandal, which shook Germany in 2005. In this case, numerous companies were closed because spoiled foods were traded on, which led to a broad public debate about food controls and consumer protection. In comparison, the current incidents in Reinickendorf seem to be of local importance, but here too the importance of enforcing hygiene regulations and consumer protection becomes clear.
Background information:
The Reinickendorf district in Berlin is known for its diverse catering scene and food businesses. The veterinary and food supervision plays an important role in monitoring and controlling compliance with hygiene regulations in them. In view of the current incidents, it becomes clear how important it is to carry out regular controls in order to protect consumers' health and ensure that the food in Reinickendorf meets the legal requirements. The cooperation between the authorities and those affected is crucial to react quickly to defects and take suitable measures.
