On May 20, 2020, Peter Zihlmann received a call from Rafz. A food check had been carried out on the Jucker family’s asparagus farm. The inspector had complained about Peter Zihlmann’s freezer. Frozen foods can only be sold prepackaged, the official said.
Peter Zihlmann stayed relaxed anyway. It was not the first inspection of food in one of their freezers. And he had been working on the concept of his company Dinnair for more than a year and was accompanied by the joint food inspection of the original cantons. He had in writing that his idea was allowed to sell openly frozen food in a freezer instead of in plastic. The business was off to a good start. It had also found new sales partners thanks to Corona, where it installed freezers and customers could use their own containers to avoid waste.
