Bama recalls 14 meal salads due to Listeria findings. The products are sold in grocery stores throughout the country:

  • Coop: Stores all over the country.
  • REMA 1000: Stores in all regions, except Stor-Bergen’s outlets.
  • NorgesGruppen: KIWI, MENU, SPAR and Joker stores all over the country.
