Perception of crisis Public influenced by media Dioxins in feed fat versus STEC O104:H4 in sprouted seeds Politics reaction depends on media coverage influence on crisis communication Scientific opinion risk communication Dr. Helmut Tschiersky-Schöneburg 8.

11 II - Challenges and Solutions Challenges after 10 days investigation into the outbreak: STEC O104:H4 was not found in any of the food samples analysed Lack of a validated method detection of STEC in vegetables Risk-based inspections along the food chain without positive findings The usual food-borne outbreak investigations were not successful Pressure to find the STEC contaminated food rose steadily Dr. Helmut Tschiersky-Schöneburg 8. Oktober 2012 Seite 11
