Salmonella has been found in HUSK Psyllium seed husks, “capsules herbal medicine”. Orkla Care A / S has recalled several products and the authorities are now strongly encouraging people to check whether they have any of the affected HUSK products.
The salmonella outbreak, which the Statens Serum Institut sent out a news item about last week , is becoming increasingly extensive. In the meantime, the type of salmonella in question has been detected in a number of other people.
A total of 33 people aged 2-92 years have been diagnosed with the same type of salmonella. Several are seriously affected. 19 people have so far been hospitalized, and 3 people where the salmonella in question has been detected have died.
“It is a serious and large outbreak with many sick and both hospitalized and deaths. Therefore, we would like to encourage everyone who has HUSK products at home to check if they have any of the affected products “, says epidemiologist Luise Müller from the Statens Serum Institut (SSI)
SSI, together with the Danish Medicines Agency, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and the DTU Food Institute, has investigated the salmonella outbreak.
Common to the patients was that they had eaten HUSK Psyllium seed husks, herbal medicine, capsules ”. A comparison with healthy controls showed that the sick had eaten HUSK products to a much greater extent than the controls.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration therefore obtained the product from two patients’ homes and was able to prove that there was salmonella in it. Several HUSK products were subsequently recalled.
“This is the first time that we have been able to identify an herbal medicine as the cause of a salmonella outbreak. Those who take this product are often people who already have stomach problems. I am therefore concerned that the salmonella infection will not be detected because the individuals or their doctor believe that the symptoms of the salmonella infection stem from their existing stomach problems, ”says Luise Müller.
You must check whether you have:
• Herbal remedy Psyllium husks, capsules
• The dietary supplement REMEMBER Psyllium Stomach Balance Basic, capsules
Find photos and batch numbers on the recalled products here
If you have the product at home, check whether it originates from one of the batches that Orkla Care A / S has withdrawn. The batch number is always printed on the outside of the plastic container.
If you have products from those batches, you should either throw them out or. deliver them back to the store where they were purchased.
Even if you should have eaten the HUSK Psyllium seed pods, herbal medicine, capsules or HUSK Psyllium Stomach Balance supplements, capsules, the risk of being infected with salmonella is considered too small.
Most often, the symptoms of salmonella are mild and go away on their own. If you get persistent symptoms or have doubts, you can consult your own doctor.

In a recently published study, investigators from Norwich and Surrey have more than doubled the number of microbial species known to live in the chicken gut. As the health and wealth of humans is tied to the health and productivity of chickens, this lays down a key resource for all future studies on the gut microbiome of this important food animal.
With three times as many chickens as people on our planet, this ubiquitous food animal underpins human nutrition and health across the globe—whether through subsistence farming or intensive production, chickens supply more of our food than any other animal. Chicken meat is surging in popularity as a lower-carbon alternative to meat from other livestock, whilst eggs remain an important and affordable source of nutrition worldwide. However, poultry are also a source of antimicrobial resistance and of pathogens such as Campylobacter, Salmonella and E. coli that threaten human health.

Spore-forming bacteria are a great concern for fruit juice processors as they can resist the thermal pasteurization and the high hydrostatic pressure treatments that fruit juices receive during their processing, thus reducing their microbiological quality and safety. In this context, our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light at 254 nm on reducing bacterial spores of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus cereus at two stages of orange juice production. To simulate fruit disinfection before processing, the orange peel was artificially inoculated with each of the bacterial spores and submitted to UV-C light (97.8–100.1 W/m2) with treatment times between 3 s and 10 min. The obtained product, the orange juice, was also tested by exposing the artificially inoculated juice to UV-C light (100.9–107.9 W/m2) between 5 and 60 min. A three-minute treatment (18.0 kJ/m2) reduced spore numbers on orange peel around 2 log units, while more than 45 min (278.8 kJ/m2) were needed to achieve the same reduction in orange juice for all evaluated bacterial spores. As raw fruits are the main source of bacterial spores in fruit juices, reducing bacterial spores on fruit peels could help fruit juice processors to enhance the microbiological quality and safety of fruit juices.
