Taiwan – 23 suffer Salmonella poisoning at shaved ice restaurant in south Taiwan
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A shaved ice restaurant in Kaohsiung City has been ordered to suspend operations and pay a NT$300,000 (US$9,600) fine after 23 customers sought medical treatment for salmonella poisoning.
A woman surnamed Huang (黃) broke the news on PTT, saying that she and 12 family members went to a shaved ice shop on Liuhe Road on July 12, reported Liberty Times. After eating the shaved ice, 11 family members felt unwell and had symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting, and bloody stools, while her son was hospitalized for treatment.
On July 14, the Kaohsiung City Government Department of Health conducted an inspection of the premises and found that the floor was damaged and dirty and a trash can was not covered. The health department conducted on-site testing of the shaved ice toppings, shaved ice, and samples from the surfaces of the shaved ice equipment.

Norway – Smoked salmon and trout suspected as the source of outbreaks of Listeriosis
The Norwegian Food Safety Authority is collaborating with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health , the Norwegian Veterinary Institute and relevant municipal supervisors to find the cause of the outbreak.
All four people, three women and one man, fell ill in June this year and have been admitted to hospital. All are now healthy or improving. They are aged 50-80 and live in Viken (2), Vestland and Oslo.
The Norwegian Food Safety Authority has interviewed the persons and obtained product samples which the Veterinary Institute has analyzed (vi.no). Three out of four people report having eaten either smoked salmon or smoked trout from Troll Salmon in the time before they became ill. The outbreak bacterium was found in two packs of smoked salmon from Troll Salmon . One of the people had the packages in the freezer.
– The Norwegian Food Safety Authority is in close dialogue with the business, which must ensure that they do not sell products that represent a possible health hazard for consumers. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority also monitors that the company carries out necessary investigations and implements sufficient measures in production, says Lindis Folkvord, section manager in the Norwegian Food Safety Authority’s biological food safety section.
Advice for vulnerable groups
Most people can eat foods containing the listeria bacteria without becoming seriously ill, but susceptible people tolerate less of the bacteria.
– It is a general advice that pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems and the elderly with a weakened general condition should eat fish and smoked fish that are as fresh as possible. This means that the product should be well within the best-before date, says Folkvord.
Other measures to reduce the risk of listeria bacteria are to store such products in a refrigerator at 4 degrees or colder, and to wash equipment and hands after handling risk products to reduce the risk of transfer of listeria bacteria to other products.
Risk product
Listeria is usually transmitted through food, especially refrigerated foods with a long shelf life that are eaten without heat treatment. Examples of such risk products are soft ripening cheeses and unpasteurized semi-hard cheeses, unpasteurized milk, smoked, raw and raw fish, some types of cut-up cooked meat spreads and raw meat.
