A needle in a haystack …
… or applied consumer protection in the Food Microbiology Laboratory at the Chemical and Veterinary Investigations Office in Stuttgart, Germany
A call comes in to the CVUA in Stuttgart from a veterinary office: an old gentleman is lying in the local hospital with severe diarrhoea. Asked about his eating habits, he stated that a few days previously, as usual, he had collected unpasteurised milk directly from the milk vending machine and had drunk it immediately. He had often taken milk from there and had never had any problems.
