The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) has, in the outbreak investigation of the Tomato Chlorosis virus (ToCV), found seven companies affected by the quarantine disease. With this, the investigation has been completed, Rob Hageman of the NVWA reports to Nieuwe Oogst. "But we continue to carefully monitor the situation."
The seven are added to the eleven companies that had already been discovered before the NVWA started the follow-up investigation. During this outbreak investigation, which started at the end of February and ended in April, the authority examined about forty tomato companies in the Westland and another forty in the rest of the Netherlands. In two-thirds of the cases, it concerned companies with lighted cultivation.
