Salmonella recall pulls sprout products from Norwegian stores

Norske Spirer AS is recalling eight sprout products after salmonella was detected in products containing alfalfa, according to reporting published Monday.

The recall covers items sold through several major grocery chains in Norway, including Kiwi, Rema 1000, Meny, Coop, Spar, Bunnpris, Joker and Oda. The products were also distributed through BAMA and sold to foodservice customers.

Consumers who have bought the affected products are being told to throw them away.

What is being recalled

VG reported that the recall applies to eight different sprout products. The affected items were produced between June 8 and June 12, 2026.

The stated best-before dates run from June 22 to June 26, 2026.

The products were identified after salmonella was found in goods containing alfalfa.

Why it matters

Mattilsynet warns that salmonella can cause diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea, fever and headache. Because sprouts are often eaten raw, a contamination finding can create a direct consumer health risk.

The recall is an active food-safety action affecting a product category that is widely sold in Norwegian retail and foodservice channels.

What consumers should do

Anyone who has purchased the affected sprout products should not eat them. The advice is to dispose of the items.

At the time of publication, the publicly confirmed reporting points to a recall driven by a product finding, not a confirmed outbreak of illness. Further updates may follow if authorities or the producer release a full product and batch list.
