Thirty people in Sweden fell ill with scombroid poisoning after eating tuna from Vietnam earlier this month.
The histamine poisoning foodborne outbreak was linked to frozen tuna loins from Vietnam, via the Netherlands.
Local authorities were responsible for the outbreak investigation and tracing of food batches. The Swedish Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket) is the national contact point for Europe’s Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF).
Mats Lindblad, from the Swedish Food Agency, said about 30 people were sick but no deaths were reported.
“Symptoms were typical for histamine poisoning and included swelling, hives, irregular heartbeat, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting,” he told Food Safety News.

At least 11 people in Switzerland have been infected by Listeria and two have died after eating contaminated cheese.
Officials from the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) told Food Safety News that analysis is pending for a further 10 infections to see if they belong to the outbreak cluster. A total of 28 cases of listeriosis have been reported in the country since early this year.
Of the 11 confirmed outbreak cases, five are men and six are women aged 66 to 86 years old. Infections have occurred in seven cantons, or regions, of the country.
The first patient related to the outbreak cluster showed symptoms at the end of January. In the most recent related infection reported to date, symptoms began in mid-April.
Following a notification via the RASFF system (European Food and Feed rapid alert system), the presence of Salmonella was detected in poultry meat from the Carrefour and Maître Coq brands.
The FASFC therefore ordered the withdrawal of these products and their recall to consumers.
The FASFC asks not to consume these products and to bring them back to the point of sale in which they were purchased.
