Scandal in the district of Göppingen: Pulled uphill frozen products!

In the district of Göppingen, a van with food -subject food was checked on January 9, 2025. The truck had serious defects because it had no prescribed cooling devices. Food surveillance was informed by the traffic police about the incident.

The truck transported various cooling foods, including cheese, yogurt, Ayran and frozen products such as fries fries. It was found that the French fries had a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and were therefore in the thawing process. These circumstances are particularly critical, since food -liable foods must be transported with suitable cooling devices at outside temperatures.

It was particularly alarming that the information on the finishing packs for the durability of the products was no longer correct. The affected company is known for repeated violations in the Göppingen district. The driver of the van was not allowed to continue his journey and was sent back to the place of origin.

The responsible food monitoring will check the further procedure and a criminal complaint will be filed for the repeated violations. In addition, a procedure for the publication of the violations with the name of the food company was initiated.

Compliance with the cold chain with temperature -sensitive foods is of crucial importance. According to the European Ordinance on Food Hygiene, EG No. 852/2004, food entrepreneurs are responsible for the safety of the products and must guarantee the cold chain without gaps, such as food-warenkunde.de . Hygienic transport requires suitable, regularly cleaned and disinfected transporters to ensure food safety.
