    "To rule out any potential food safety risks, the shop owners disconnected the refrigeration systems from the mains"

    The mains provide the avenue of attack. So disconnecting that secures things, while the internet connection provides power to the cooling systems.

    France last month, Switzerland now. “Cold storage” used to sound so reassuring.

    These companies have several weeks to respond to this risk, and yet here we are. Much sadness.

      So few time. Approval processes can take a lot of time.
