Cautionwithready-madesalads:Investigationsdiscoverdangerousdiseasegerms–e.g.salmonellaandListeriamonocytogenes

The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) has made an alarming discovery in the examination of pre-packaged salads. Dangerous pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria, and E.coli (also STEC) were found in some samples. These pathogens can cause serious health problems such as gastrointestinal infections, fever, and even life-threatening complications. Consumers should pay particular attention to hygiene and storage when it comes to pre-packaged salads to protect themselves from infection.

At BAV Institute, we regularly conduct examinations for Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli. We provide fast and reliable results and are happy to advise you on all matters related to product safety. If you have any questions, our customer advisors are at your disposal.
