A man from Salzburg bit into a fried “Eitrige” and broke off a molar. The reason: a four-millimeter piece of bone was in the sausage. He subsequently sued the manufacturer and distributor of the Käsekrainer, a food company. The legal dispute even reached the Supreme Court.

For two and a half years, this legal dispute revolved around sausage. More specifically, one of Austrians’ favorite types of sausage: the Käsekrainer.
