Mold alarm in daycare centers: Parents demand immediate termination of the caterer!

Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Deutschland - In Osterholz-Scharmbeck, the anger of the parents is bubbling! At the beginning of this week, probably spoiled food was delivered to urban daycare centers and schools. A disturbing photo shows a container, the content of which is covered by a moldy layer. The scandal is the sad highlight of long -lasting problems with the Caterer Diversity menu, which has been responsible for the catering of 13 institutions since August 2023.

A concerned mother whose child visits the daycare center on Berliner Strasse reports that not only her facility is affected. The parents' advisory board has already met and pronounced for immediate termination of the caterer. "Eat that doesn't taste good is one thing. But moldy food? That is unacceptable!" The mother is outraged. Franziska von Lütcken, another mother, also follows: "The Gnocchi had the consistency of stones. If the children cannot eat, it is a disaster!" Despite repeated complaints to the city administration, the Situation remains intolerable.

City administration under pressure

The city administration reacted to the allegations and switched on the veterinary office. "We are very interested in good food quality in our facilities," explains Torsten Haß, the first city council. The caterer had already been given a deadline to improve the quality, but the results failed to materialize. Now the city is checking legal steps against diversity menu and has blocked the kitchens until the allegations are clarified. Samples of the food were taken on Tuesday, the results of which are still standing.

Diversity menu, on the other hand, rejects the allegations. Spokeswoman Julia Linder emphasizes that there are no confirmed symptoms and that the dishes are freshly prepared every day. "We take the satisfaction of the parents seriously and regularly carry out controls," she adds. But while the city is pushing for a solution, the uncertainty about the quality of food remains in the daycare centers and schools. Parents are on alert, and the situation could continue to worsen!
