Denmark – Salmonella in dried chive products

Posted on May 30, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Foedevarestyrelsen

The companies Mr. Skov Engro and SarTorvet.com are recalling two different products with dried chives, as Salmonella has been found in the dried chives used in the products.

If you have the products, you should discard them or return them to the store where they were purchased.

Which food is recalled

Sir. Skov Blåvand Ramsløg salt

Net weight: 230g

Best before date: 26.01.2027

Nøddebutikken Ramsløg, dried, in bags

Net weight: 15g and 45g

Lot no: 429872

Where is the product sold

Sir. Skov Blåvand Ramsløg salt is sold in:

Wine merchants and a number of other smaller specialty stores throughout the country.

The nut store Ramsløg, dried, is sold from the stall at the following markets:

Sindal market

Roskilde hawker market

Bellahøj hawker market

Why is the product being recalled?

Salmonella has been detected in dried chives. Products where the dried ram’s onions are used can therefore also be contaminated with Salmonella, and there is therefore a risk of infection with the bacteria.

The symptoms of infection with Salmonella are diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fever, headache and possibly nausea and vomiting. The illness can last from a few days to several weeks.

What should you do as a consumer?

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration advises consumers to return the products to the store where they were purchased or to discard them.

If you experience symptoms in connection with consuming the products, you should contact your own doctor.
