2026Facts of the Case: The food establishment repeatedly used frying oil that was already old and spent and therefore no longer suitable for frying. The polar components (TPM) are used as a benchmark to determine the degree of decomposition of the oil. According to the guidelines of the Working Group of Food Chemistry Experts of the German States and the Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety (ALS), frying oil with a TPM value of 24% or higher is considered unfit for sale. In addition, the sensory characteristics (appearance, odor, taste) are evaluated.
During the most recent routine inspection, a TPM value of 53.5% was measured in the small fryer on the left; for the double fryer, the value was 24% TPM on the left and 41% TPM on the right. The fact that the frying oil was spent and that both the frying oil and the fried food (french fries) were unfit for sale was confirmed by test results from the Hessian State Laboratory.
Legal basis: Article 14, paragraphs 1 and 2b, of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002
Comments/Correction of Defects: During the follow-up inspection on March 4, 2026, the defect had been corrected.
