During an official sampling of Mayflower anchovy rings in olive oil 50g, marketed by IMGRO GmbH, Untere Donaustraße 11, A-1020 Vienna, increased histamine levels were found. The corresponding batch R02L21 with a best-before date of 06/02/2023 was assessed as harmful and therefore not safe. As a result, we are recalling the affected batch of this item:

Norway – Sampling issues found at producer linked to Listeria outbreak

Posted on March 16, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Norwegian authorities found problems with the sampling plan of a company linked to a Listeria outbreak in 2022, according to a report.

At an inspection in October, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) discovered the fish producer’s sampling plan was not sufficient, and that environmental samples had not been taken in line with Troll Salmon’s internal program.

During the visit, the agency took 14 environmental samples and the company also conducted sampling afterward. One of the authority’s tests was positive and the producer detected Listeria in two different drain samples.

The firm was ordered to take daily samples for an undefined time period and to update the sampling plan. It also carried out additional cleaning and disinfection of premises and equipment as well as work to find the source of the outbreak strain.
