The reports on www.lebensmittelwarnung.de provide a good overview of current issues related to food. The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) publishes warnings regarding Listeria monocytogenes in foods on this portal.

Due to the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, an official recall of the product "Schlachtplatte mit Sauerkraut" has been announced.

Listeria monocytogenes is playing an increasingly important role as an infectious agent, as the reported case numbers have been steadily rising in recent years. Despite comprehensive hygiene measures in food companies, they can persist in certain ecological niches. Pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems can develop severe diseases with sepsis and meningitis.
