Scandal at the Lüdenscheider Tafel: Defects in Food Hygiene!
Lüdenscheid, Deutschland - The Lüdenscheider Tafel faces challenges that affect both internal structures and food hygiene. According to a report of the Kreiszeitung work more than 120 volunteer helpers for the table. However, the commitment of the employees is difficult by the absence of regular duty to teach food hygiene, which have not yet been carried out. Changes are planned here to improve the quality and safety of the food on offer.
Another aspect that burdens the board is the resignation of two board members, including the 1st chairman Volker Linn. The resignation, which took place on April 1, 2025, was motivated by health and internal reasons. Linn expressed disagreements on the board and criticized the insufficient support in the familiarization of new members.
food hygiene and odor problem
The board is faced with critical points that were determined when the health department was checked. The defects include non-compliance with the smoking ban in blackboard vehicles and a carefree handling of daily income. Despite these significant points, the health department recently made no complaints, but issued information on optimization. The remaining board of directors emphasizes that responsible handling of food and income should be guaranteed.
The plans of the board include the promptly implementation of the required mandatory letters to food hygiene. These training courses are crucial to adhere to the standards that have top priority in the food industry.

support from the community
In view of the decline in food donations from discounters and markets, the Lüdenscheid table is now planning possible adjustments in its offer. There is no absorption stop on the part of the board, and no difference is made according to origin. In contrast to the Essen table, needy are treated here regardless of their nationality or status. More than half of the clients now come from abroad, and to improve communication, a young Syrian in the helper team is active, who communicates with Arabic clients.The table is open on three days of the week, on which between 50 and 70 people each get food for a small amount of 2 to 4 euros. Despite the difficulties, the table does not see itself as a full supplier, but offers additional help. An important event to improve the situation was a donation hair cutting in Plettenberg, which caused enthusiasm in the region and generated additional income. The support from the State Association Tafel NRW is also expected to include internal differences and to convene a general assembly, which should take place within three months to carry out new elections.
