I broke 3 neurons trying to understand this word and Wikipedia did not help: "Das Rindfleischetikettierungsgesetz (RiFlEtikettG) legt die besondere Etikettierung von Rindfleisch fest.";.. it seems obvious but at the same time I still have no clue what you're talking about. (And RiFIEtikettG is something my cat would come up with by walking on the keyboard)
Can you bitte erklären?
This was all based on a food scandal where Beef was systematically re-labelled just before the expiration date.
This was in 2012, I think. There was a huge controversy and uproar about it, which finally was the reason for deleting the Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz, which by then was the longest German word in existence.
For the deleted paragraph:
Rindfleisch Beef
Etikettierung Labelling
Überwachung Surveillance
Aufgaben Tasks
Übertragung Delegation
Gesetz Law
A law delegating the surveillance tasks on beef product labelling.
Ok thank you for taking the time to explain! It makes sense now. I like hearing about food controversies (yeah I have my own fun) but didn't know of that one. It goes totally against German stereotypes,
We got this one too!!! So I'm not that surprised. People were so angry, and I remember sitting here like "...they didn't taste the difference, so what's the problem?". I was like 15 when it happened. Ah I love the food industry.
