Scandal for rotten meat: Death after Kebab consumption in Carinthia

The latest developments related to the Kebab stands in Austria have attracted enormous attention, especially after the public prosecutor's office in Klagenfurt has completed its investigation into a scandalous incident. The background show that inferior meat from Poland was the cause of health problems in numerous snacks. This is not simply an isolated incident - in the past year by eating this meat a total of 27 diseases and tragically a death in Carinthia.

In particular, the case of a 63-year-old man who consumed a chicken stake from a snack bar in the Villach-Land district this year is the focus. After eating the kebab, the man initially felt uncomfortable, but pushed the symptoms aside and did not seek medical help. This easy handling of its health situation should turn out to be a serious mistake, because the final laboratory tests confirmed that he had died of salmonella poisoning.

examinations and contamination

The investigations by the public prosecutor have also criticized the operators of the kebab stand. Now these have been completed, and the result has revealed some worrying indications of hygiene defects in the snack bar. During an inspection, investigators found contamination in the restaurant and in the meat. Such grievances raise natural questions: How could that happen? What measures have been missed to ensure the security of customers?

The laboratory tests have shown that bacteria that cause salmonella could have come into the meal due to improper storage and poor hygienic conditions. These bacteria are particularly dangerous for immunocompromised people, older people or children. The cause of death of the man shows which serious consequences can arise from such hygiene defects. It is important to ensure that the guests are safe and healthy when they consume public dishes.

After the tragic incident, the public prosecutor's office took a close look at the operators of the kiosk. In the case of further investigations, it is clarified to what extent the operators can be held responsible for this incident. "We now have to clarify why the man's death has occurred and whether he is attributed to the operators," reports Markus Kitz from the Klagenfurt public prosecutor. If it is based on the legal provisions, the operator threatens up to three years in prison if a guilt can be demonstrated.

The information from the report indicates that the mortality rate by salmonella is 0.1 percent. However, this does not show the complete danger of these bacteria when you consider that they can have fatal consequences in connection with a weaker immune system. The findings that indicate hygiene violations will throw a critical light on the entire industry and call for urgent measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

The evidence shows that the security standards in these snack companies must be observed in order to ensure the health of consumers. Inadequate controls and hygiene defects must not have any space in food processing. The incident is not only a reminder for these specific providers, but also signals to the entire industry that changes are urgently needed here.
