The Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (Afsca) told us that it had not yet completed its investigation into Ferrero. “We are in the process of writing a statement of offense and when it will be complete, with the results of the analyzes carried out, we will send it to the public prosecutor’s office”, specifies Afsca spokesperson Aline Van Den Broeck.
Workers at the Ferrero factory in Arlon are asking a lot of questions about their short-term future, as the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (Afsca) withdrew production authorization at the site on Friday due to 100 cases of salmonellosis identified in Europe in recent weeks. Staff have so far received few responses, according to a meeting on Saturday between site management and worker representatives.
