Shock in Neubrandenburg: 26 jobs fall victim to the authority!

Shock in Neubrandenburg: 26 jobs fall victim to the authority!

In an unexpected step, the State Office for Agriculture, Food Safety and Fishing Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Lallf) announced that the location in Neubrandenburg should close. The 26 employees now fear for their future. The shock is particularly deep in the employees, since the location was only modernized in 2019. It is planned to implement the Department 350 and 360 to Rostock in the medium term, whereby the employees were informed about it in a message from Stephan Goltermann, the first director of the Lallf.

The background story about this decision is anything but gratifying. The reason for the closure is the "current and forecast personnel and financial resources". An end date for the closure is to be determined within the next six weeks, which continues to affect the state of the employee. Many of them have been working in consumer protection for years and have built up a close bond with their work and the region.

for now until 2028: a long farewell tour?

It was not until 2019 that the Neubrandenburg location experienced a modernization that had strengthened the confidence of the workforce. There have always been rumors about possible closures, but the current situation has destroyed the hopes of a secure future. After the talks with the employees, the measures should be specified in more detail. The mood among the employees is bad-a loss for the city of Neubrandenburg and the eastern part of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is imminent.

important tasks and responsibility

The location has an important area of responsibility for food safety and quality in consumer protection. This includes the food control of milk, dairy products, grain and their products in supermarkets and bakeries. These activities are central to consumer protection and health guarantees in the region.

The Lallf itself is an important authority of the Ministry of Climate Protection, Agriculture, Rural Areas and Environment in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It takes on numerous sovereign tasks, including combating animal diseases and official food surveillance. The implementation of food examinations, monitoring needs and support in ecological agriculture are also among his core tasks. This responsibility will no longer be possible at the Neubrandenburg location.

Finally, the question arises as to how the closure of the location will affect food safety in the region. The provisions of food and feed law, which guarantees the protection of health and compliance with hygiene regulations, will still have to apply. The effects of these developments will certainly be far -reaching, both for the employees and for the entire region.

A call to the Ministry of Agriculture in Schwerin has so far been no answer. It remains to be seen how things will go with the Neubrandenburg location and the employees concerned.
