Mozzarella cheese imported from Germany has turned up blue in some shops in the north of the country, triggering a Europe-wide alert by the health ministry. The ministry alerted European and German authorities after police seized about 70,000 mozzarellas in northern Italy which had been made at a German factory, it said in a statement.
The blue mozzarellas could be caused by bacteria, newspapers said today, quoting tests by a Venice specialist institute. The bacteria does not appear to be hazardous to health, they added.
