Germany's food and agriculture minister Christian Schmidt said, "People should not be afraid of biting into a grilled bratwurst despite the World Health Organization's warning that sausages and ham cause cancer. No one should be afraid when eating a bratwurst. As with everything, what counts is the quantity: too much of something is always bad for health. We worry people unnecessarily if we put meat in the same category as asbestos or tobacco."

His Austrian counterpart, Andrae Rupprechter, echoed a similar sentiment, calling the WHO report 'a farce'. He said, "Placing ham on the same level as asbestos is outrageous nonsense and only serves to unsettle people. There's no doubt for me: Austria's sausage is and remains the best."
