Disgusting kebab caused death: rags as the cause!

Particular importance should be attached to hygiene when preparing kebabs. A criminal case in Carinthia shows that this is not always the case.

The investigation into last year's major kebab scandal, when dozens of guests fell ill after eating a kebab, is now complete. For one Carinthian, the visit to the kebab stand even ended fatally. It is now clear how this could have happened - and whether the landlord will have to stand trial.

The probability of dying from salmonella poisoning is extremely low - according to forensic medical reports, it is 0.1 percent. The fact that a death occurred in Carinthia last year is therefore a particular chain of unfortunate circumstances. What is certain, however, is that the chicken kebab was fatal!
