Bavaria's Consumer Protection Minister Werner Schnappauf arrives for an extraordinary meeting of the federal German consumer protection ministers in Berlin September 7, 2006. Local authorities in southern Germany confiscated up to 80 tonnes beef, pork and poultry, some of it more than four years out of date, from two distributors in Bavaria and raided 10 restaurants in central Munich after tests on meat impounded last week pointed to widespread violations.
