Norway salmonella outbreak strain detected in imported beef from Germany In a follow-up on the salmonella outbreak reported across Norway, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has, in collaboration with the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, detected Salmonella Enteritidis with the outbreak profile in a batch of beef imported from Germany. Image/CDC The imported batch of beef is used for, among other things, chop dough. This product has been withdrawn from the market. Some of the imported batch of beef has also been sold to other companies and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority is still working to trace this. This agrees well with the information we have from the cases that have so far been interviewed, where several state that they have tasted raw chop dough, says doctor Hilde Marie Lund.
