CBL spooked by faeces in meat
The Centraal Bureau Levensmiddelenhandel (CBL) (Central Grocery Retail Agency) is shocked by statements of anonymous meat inspectors in a broadcast of Zembla. In the broadcast on Thursday the inspectors state that fecal bacteria are present in much of the slaughtered meat.The whistleblowers should have reported this much sooner, according to the CBL, so that proper measures could be taken at the abattoirs. E.coli is not a joking matter.
