On October 8, the German Federal Ministry of Consumer Protection announced that the cause of the late September mass food poisoning of more than 11,000 German students was none other than contaminated frozen strawberries imported from China. According to the German news report, the Robert Koch Institute found a bag of the suspected frozen strawberries contained a norovirus (acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis). In a press release, Elbefrost, the German company responsible for importing the tainted goods stated that they will no longer import strawberries from China.
