Overview
- The Rekord‑Institut für Deutschland measured and certified a 59.19‑metre Mettbrötchen at a furniture‑store opening in Siebenlehn, with RID judge Lisa Nowakowski calling it an Erstrekord.
- Organizers built the sandwich from 40 joined baguettes set with raw dough and finished with a torch, then spread butter and topped the loaf with 50 kilograms of raw Mett, onion rings and parsley before measurement.
- The RID established a 59‑metre minimum for the new Mettbrötchen category and issued a certificate that will place the Siebenlehn entry into the institute’s register.
- After the official measurement, visitors at the Möbel Höffner opening were offered free portions of the long sandwich and local coverage noted large crowds and long queues.
- Reporters linked the celebration to a fresh Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit analysis that places Mett among the leading causes of foodborne outbreaks, a finding that could prompt closer safety checks for raw‑meat public events.
