Only time I've ever had really bad food poisoning (ended up in A&E) was in Austria, it was from a sandwich bar.

Well, as Hamburg is the biggest port in Germany and handles the majority of the refrigerated cargo for the country, then its going to revolve around the distribution of any contaminated food source.
But you may be right in thye problem lies in how the produce was treated, AFTER it was imported into Germany
