Dutch term or phrase: diner
I am translating a recall action plan for an animal foods manufacturer and 'diner' occurs in the text in the following context:

"Zijn er andere producten afgezakt na een mogelijk besmette partij *diner*/product?"

The only translation I can find for 'diner' is 'dinner' but this does not seem to fit in the context.

Many thanks in advance.

  -> Well, since the source uses "diner", I would stick with "dinner".

  -> Another option could also be "food". Seeing as they are referring to animal food. So it could mean a bad/contaminated batch of food.

The product is marketed for the French and German markets under the Dutch brand name DINER too.

I suspect (am certain) that the asker knew all of the options offered here (dinner, food, etc, because if a translator needs help translating such an easy word then the question is should such a person even be translating) but that was not the problem, the problem was that it made no sense to her.
