A chef in Zurich is having pay a huge fine for misleading his customers that he was cooking Swiss chicken and New Zealand lamb – when in fact the chickens were Brazilian and the lamb from Uruguay.
The man confessed his signs were wrong and will have to pay a total of CHF 2,600 in fines and costs.
It could be the case that most of the signs in restaurants are wrong anyway.
Four years ago, the Consumer’s Federation of French Speaking Switzerland found there were errors in the signs nine out of ten times.
The Confederation bans the import of meat from countries that do not practice appropriate production methods.
