I know in Denmark they have signs on the doors with food inspection grades and when I worked in NYC we got visits regularly from inspectors - I will send a copy of the letter I send to my ICA to the health inspector as well.Surviving Swedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144843041249993603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-45043533572050635262012-12-15T04:25:22.820-08:002012-12-15T04:25:22.820-08:00Glad to know we foreigners are not alone in our th...Glad to know we foreigners are not alone in our thoughts on this! Yes, I love luciakatter, but have not bought many this year because of those pedestol things. I know my 2 year old is pretty good at listening when I say 'No, you cannot pick out the raisins' but I can imagine some little hands get in there anyway!<br /><br />Forgot about the candy - I only buy the wrapped kind after reading way too many articles about how many people catch winter puking disease from those candy bins. <br /><br />Sad story yesterday about someone dying, and 26 falling ill from puking flu spread thru pizza salad- Probably left uncovered and sitting out.<br />Surviving Swedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144843041249993603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-31057764828313384592012-12-15T04:23:14.627-08:002012-12-15T04:23:14.627-08:00I'm sorry you got sick, I am with you on being...I'm sorry you got sick, I am with you on being a lot more careful about the bread I buy. And weird that a country I usually consider rather 'clean' does seem to be rather lax in their hygiene regulations.Surviving Swedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144843041249993603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-53038206998250852882012-12-14T12:09:19.943-08:002012-12-14T12:09:19.943-08:00If you encounter these things you haft to report i...If you encounter these things you haft to report it to "Miljö och hälsoskyddskontoret". Then the food inspectors will do an investigation. You should also report if you ever get sick from the food you've eaten. I'm on my way to become an food inspector. There are laws regarding these things.Teekalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12028667495947857130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-34318536104408428982012-12-14T10:23:10.858-08:002012-12-14T10:23:10.858-08:00You are not alone.

Luciakatter exposed on pedistals in the middle of the aisles where anyone can fondle, drip, cough, etc on them.<br />The candy stores (for example Hemmakväll) i react a lot to as well. They used to have protective lids to cover all the candy from all the horrible stuff that goes around (especially now during flu season). And that candy sint exactly replaced every day either. Sits there in the open air week after week collecting dust and who knows what.<br />Yuck.<br /><br />Hope they fix the bread situation you are having.<br /><br />First time I comment here and I have to say I always find what you read to be interesting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259059093811978722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-24202436258853917812012-12-14T08:45:04.909-08:002012-12-14T08:45:04.909-08:00I´ve thought of the same things.

And since I became very ill this summer and the only one in my family I will never buy bread and such things openly exposed again and no "julbord" for me:-). I think there is a lack of education in hygiene in this country, it´s more important with such a thing in other countries, sorry for us living here.
