Berlin District Warns Restaurants After Influencer Poses as Food Inspector

Businesses can verify inspector identities with Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg’s food safety office.

Overview

  • The district reports the impersonator entered staff-only areas, including the kitchen, and put hands into prepared ingredients.
  • A second person filmed the staged inspection and the video was posted on social media.
  • Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg authorities say they will report the case to police and have issued a public warning to food businesses.
  • Officials outlined genuine procedures, noting inspectors show ID at the start and usually leave a written report, and urged verification with the local office.
  • The influencer known as “Langlebepapa” was previously linked to similar fake checks in Hamburg, where media reported an investigation for impersonating officials and a home search.
