Drama in lockdown: Contaminated food - restaurant has to call customers to see a doctor

A Hessian restaurant warns all visitors who last ordered food there.

Those affected are strongly advised to check their own well-being.

Hanau - In Corona times, the delivery of food is a tried and tested means of consoling yourself over the ban on going to restaurants.

The crisis-ridden gastronomy also benefits from the permission that the companies can at least offer the food for pick-up, if one is not allowed to entertain the customers.

Listeria in food: Restaurant advises Hessian customers to visit a doctor

However, a restaurant from Hanau in Hesse is now affected by an unpleasant incident: The international food provider had to make a call to people who ordered food between December 2020 and January 2021.

The "Adler" restaurant went public with a warning:

“Listeria (L. monocytogenes) were detected in foods (tuna and olives) that were used for part of our dishes.

Unfortunately, it cannot be ruled out with the necessary certainty * that other foods that were used in our dishes were contaminated with Listeria. "

The message asks all customers who have stocked up on food at the restaurant to see a doctor.

Citizens who suffer from symptoms of illness such as fever or diarrhea should heed the call.

Exception: pregnant women.

In any case, this group of people must undergo a medical examination if they have consumed "not fully heated meals" from the Hanau restaurant in the past few weeks.

This also applies to foods that are not fortified with tuna or olives.

Recalls in the food industry: Listeria is often a reason for complaints

The Adler restaurant is affected by the incident and apologizes to its customers in the letter.

By the way, one of the biggest sources of bacteria and viruses is the smartphone.

Here you can see how the mobile device that has grown together with us is best - and most effectively - cleaned:

There are repeated recalls * in the food industry due to listeria.

The bacteria are especially dangerous for pregnant women *; in the worst case, the unborn child could be harmed.
