What is this? A truck from Romania was stopped in Germany. It was carrying raw meat that was not kept cold enough during the trip.

What's happening? The meat was not stored properly while being moved. German officials found this during a check and ordered the meat to be thrown away.

Does this affect me? This meat never reached the UK or Germany for sale. No one bought or ate it.

What should I do? No action is needed. If you bought meat recently, ask your doctor or pharmacist if it is safe to eat.
