Justice should investigate whether the fatal salmonella outbreak in 2012 fishing company Soother to blame. That says injury expert Yme Drost Saturday following an investigation Omroep Gelderland.

The study shows that, according to Drost Soother a “recidivist” is.

“In 2010, the company discovered several times the deadly listeria bacteria on their own salmon. Then you are required to turn the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority and get your products back, but that was not done. “

That again seriously went wrong less than two years later, calls Drost according to the question of whether the company is taking enough measures to ensure food safety. The salmonella infected fish Soother came in 2012, at least four people and were probably a thousand people sick, the National Institute for Public Health and Environment concluded earlier.

Drost announced at that time already a personal injury case, but decided against when the Safety Board ultimately concluded that the outbreak was due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances. Now it appears that the company often the error is gone, Drost asks to what extent there is a chance.

Drost wants a new personal injury case against the company on its feet set and therefore does return.

“The research shows that Omroep Gelderland Soother has had in total., But for 4200 euros in fines The prosecution must now figure out properly how Soother what to blame. “

Drost has contact with victims of the salmonella outbreak in 2012, but still no contact with people who suffer have had under the listeria bacterium that sat on the fish in 2010. “But of course it would just be that that also mention.”

According to figures from the RIVM deceased in 2010 fourteen people on the bacterium, including a child. The bacteria could also be true for raw milk cheeses. Fool was not reachable. On the general number A spokesman who in 2012 made the communication about the salmonella outbreak today says 99 percent certain that Soother will not respond. (AP)
