Rotten Denmark pt. 1 Danish Crown 2 comments

18 Jan 2004 @ 09:38, by Flemming Leer Jakobsen Shakespeare was right. There is something wrong in the state of Denmark. The biggest Danish producer of meat, Danish Crown , was under scrutiny after a home video was shown on TV2. The video was shot after ISS personel had finished cleaning. Or so they thought. The picture here is from that video. The video shot by a former ISS employe showed meat under panels, in the ceiling and on meat hooks. Danish Crown and ISS later said that the video was a fake taken during clean up and not as it claimed afterwards. They threatened to sue TV2 and Ekstrabladet for liabilities. But the trick may have been an effort to get the name of the one who shot the video. But unannounced inspections by the veterinary on january 8th showed some 40 errors in various Danish Crown slaughterhouses which had to be cleaned before production could begin. Another former employee also stepped forward and told that the reason why the Danish Crown slaughterhouse in Odense could continue to pass biochemical analysis was that the ISS employees had access to the test sample room. They simply removed samples from days with known poor cleaning with good days. The slaughterhouse in Odense has been under close scrutiny by the authorities for the past 3 years.
