The origin should be noted on frozen fruits and vegetables in future, the ministers of Consumer Protection of the various German states demand. They believe it is inexplicable that the origins of fresh fruit is required by law to be noted, but the origins of frozen fruit isn't.

The ministers believe that consumers have the right to know where their food comes from. How they judge these origins, is up to them.

Last year in Germany there was a scandal involving frozen strawberries. In September 11,000 children and adults, mostly from Eastern Germany, fell ill after consuming frozen strawberries from China.
