| The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) announces the withdrawal of the alert due to the presence of Salmonella in frozen cooked crabs from Ireland (Ref. ES2023/306).
After carrying out new investigations and analyzes with satisfactory results for the detection of Salmonella in the batch that is the subject of the alert, the authorities of the Xunta de Galicia have determined that there are no reasons that justify maintaining the alert. |
After the initial notification made by the authorities of the Autonomous Community of Madrid following the precautionary principle on November 24, 2023, the AESAN published an alert for the presence of Salmonella in frozen cooked crabs of the Pescanova brand, batch 40224 and date of expiration before the end of 10/2024.
Based on the investigations carried out and the performance of new analyzes for the detection of Salmonella on the batch that is the subject of the alert, all of them with satisfactory results, the authorities of the Xunta de Galicia have determined that there are no reasons to justify that the product may pose a risk to the health of the population.
For this reason, the alert has been withdrawn and communicated through the Coordinated System for Rapid Information Exchange (SCIRI), so that all contact points are aware.
