Disgusting finding: Bremerhaven restaurant Persia” on the hygiene list!

A frightening picture emerges in the gastronomy of Bremerhaven: The restaurant “Persia” in Geestemünde has secured a place on the food monitoring list of deficiencies due to blatant hygiene deficiencies. A report published on October 28th shows that an inspection on September 25th found significant deficiencies. These include dirt in the kitchen, mold on the ice chest and freezer burn on food as well as various deficiencies in personal hygiene. The situation was so serious that the restaurant was soon placed on the so-called “disgust list”, which informs the public about grievances in the catering industry. The responsible veterinary service of the state of Bremen, LMTVet, publishes such violations for a period of six months as required by law.

Fortunately, the follow-up inspection on September 29th showed that the deficiencies had been eliminated, which shows that there is a certain awareness of hygiene here. However, “Persia” is not the only company that has recently come under criticism; It is the sixth restaurant in Bremerhaven to land on this list within five months. The publication of specific hygiene violations, which include, among other things, the handling of food in supermarkets and restaurants, underlines the responsibility that operators in the catering industry have to ensure the health protection of guests.

The disgust list in detail

In addition to the “Persia” restaurant, the so-called “disgust list” documents numerous other violations of hygiene regulations in Bremen’s restaurants. Over 30 examples come together here, which paint a picture of worrying cleanliness in the industry. From mouse droppings in the dishwashing area of ​​a restaurant to heavily contaminated extractor hoods in other establishments, there are numerous reports that illustrate the need for action. Guests and consumers have the right to receive information about the hygiene standards of the restaurants where they eat.

Operators should be aware that an unkempt environment not only damages their reputation, but can also jeopardize the business in the long term. The authorities are determined to increase transparency by reporting on these deficiencies. If you would like to find out more, you can view the complete list of hygiene deficiencies directly on the LMTVet website.

A call to responsibility

Hygiene in the catering industry is not an issue that should be swept under the table. The reports show that a restaurant can quickly end up on the list of defects if the operators do not pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. The audience criticism and the existing legal requirements should serve as an incentive for catering establishments to improve standards. The local community has a good knack for hospitality and cuisine - but hygiene also has to be right!

As the example of the Persia restaurant shows, a single hygiene incident can be enough to attract the attention of the authorities. Businesses that keep in mind that hygiene is not just a requirement but also part of their business purpose will receive better customer feedback and regain guests' trust.
