Munich / Wismar -

shelf life

could

mislead

consumers

If you eat your fish after the true

best-before date has

expired

, you run the risk of exposing yourself to harmful germs and causing food poisoning.

This

is exactly what happened

at

Netto Brand Discount

.

Trout fillets have been offered in the range that may have been incorrectly labeled.

Now starts a

product recall

Trout product recall at Netto: That happens in the worst case

The error on the

label

is quite big: The stated

best-before date

refers to June 21, 2022 - which would be over a year and a half in the future.

However, the correct date is 01/29/2021.

But what if consumers actually

eat the fish

days or weeks after the

shelf life has

listeria

, for example, the disease listeriosis can

take a severe course

in pregnant women, newborns, the elderly or people with a weakened

immune system

.

This could then even “lead to blood poisoning, encephalitis or meningitis and even be fatal;
