Germany: Too much bacteria in organic salads from Netto and Alnatura

In a random test, consumentenprogramma 'WISO' from German TV channel ZDF, found

bacteria in two ready-to-eat organic salads. The total number of germs in the

lettuce from Alnatura exceeded the value guidelines for the German Society for

Hygiene and Microbiology. In particular, the total number of yeast and fungal germs found exceeded the recommended values. They also found too many

yeast germs in the ready-to-eat lettuce from Netto. The lettuce at Rewe, Edeka

and Aldi Süd was approved.
