Milk scandal in the Cham district: antibiotics contaminated thousands of liters!
In the Cham district, an incident is causing a stir that has not only made farmers but also consumers sit up and take notice. Unknown perpetrators contaminated the milk tank of an agricultural property with the antibiotic penicillin. This shocking discovery was made during a routine inspection at the local dairy BR.de reported.
The impact of this incident is significant: the entire load of a milk tanker worth 8,000 euros had to be disposed of. Such contamination is relatively rare in Bavaria and only occurs around 10 to 20 times per month. But the police have already started an investigation and are asking the public for possible information. The time of the crime is limited to a period between October 14th and 16th.
Investigations and experiences
What is interesting is that milk tank drivers take samples at every farm, which are examined for pollutants such as antibiotics. Thanks to these regular checks, the contaminated farm can be quickly identified if the overall samples are negative. Alfred Enderle, chairman of the Milchprüfungring Bayern e. V., says that it is entirely possible that a cow treated with antibiotics was mistakenly milked more than once. However, he also warns of the possibility of intentional contamination.
The Cham Veterinary Office is also involved in the case and is carrying out investigations in close cooperation with the police. A lot more could come to light here that may be behind this surprising incident.
Damage and consequences
The financial burden of disposing of contaminated milk could have serious consequences for the companies affected. It becomes clear that behind such acts there is not only a medical problem, but also economic consequences that can affect both farmers and consumers.
At a time when food quality is of paramount importance, it is even more important to investigate such incidents closely. The police are appealing to the public to report any suspicious observations so that the diabolical activity can be put to an end.
We will be curious to see whether rapid progress can be made in the investigation and whether the truth will come to light. Farmers and consumers in the region have a right to know what actually happened.
