A brand of raw fermented trout has been recalled in Norway after being linked to several Listeria infections.
Haadem Fisk withdrew ‘Hel rakfisk i spann – 4 kilograms’ with lot number 924 due to Listeria contamination. It was sold across the country.
The Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) warned consumers against eating fish from this batch. Officials would not disclose how many people are ill but Food Safety News understands there are only a small number of potentially linked infections.
Rakfisk is raw fish normally gutted and put into a salt brine and left for weeks or months. For most of the population the main season to eat it is November to February.
