The meat comes from a slaughterhouse from Poland. Two cows of that party again a Slovak farmer where after the massacre the infectious disease anthrax (or anthrax) was adopted. It is unlikely that the meat is actually infected and that people get sick, stressed the NVWA.

The meat is delivered to 19 companies in the Netherlands and 26 in other countries.

People can get anthrax through direct contact with infected animals or by eating contaminated meat. Without treatment, the disease can be fatal
