A report from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority highlights the results of their veterinary border control monitoring program for aquatic products imported into Norway in 2023 from non-EU and non-EEA countries. The program aimed to ensure compliance with regulations regarding the safety and quality of imported seafood. The report concluded that all seafood samples, including farmed fish and shellfish, met the required standards for environmental toxins, drug residues, and prohibited substances. However, one sample of breaded cod from the UK was found to contain Listeria monocytogenes at a level below the detection limit, but still within EU regulations. No regulations exist for Vibrio alginolyticus in fresh oysters from Canada, and no histamine values exceeded the maximum permitted level in any sample. The authority also plans to perform further audits on ready-to-eat seafood producers to prevent future listeriosis outbreaks, focusing on smoked salmon and rakfisk.
