Salmonella outbreak that 140 Swedes infected by can come from allspice. Now recall the company Sevan all their allspice sold since October 2014, due to suspected salmonella in kryddmixen. “One should certainly not consume it,” said Julia Kronlund of Sevan.
The past six months have been 140 people infected by a major salmonella outbreak across Sweden, wrote NFA in a press release earlier today. Then did not know the authority where the infection is, but now the answer is: kryddmixen allspice.
“The suspicion has arisen in connection with an investigation of salmonella contamination carried out by the Public Health Agency in connection with the NFA. It is not yet determined, through analytical testing, to Sevans allspice carry the infection, since this is still under investigation. But regardless of factors suggest that this could be the case, “the company writes in a press release.

Sevan has therefore decided to recall all size versions of the product that has been on the market since October 2014.
– We got to go out to the NFA found a allspice from Sevan of one of the people who fell ill, and that you analyzed it, and received a positive response. That is why we now recall all allspice, to see if this is also contained in sealed packages and with other best-before date, says Julia Kronlund, Business Unit Manager at Sevan.
Allkryddan is made in Bosnia, and has been manufactured in Serbia. It is still unclear whether it is really the source of infection for the outbreak, but Julia Kronlund urge anyone who has an Sevan allspice home to dispose of it.
– You should absolutely not consume it, but be sure to throw it, she says to DN.
The outbreak has been ongoing since December 2014, spread over large parts of the country, according to the NFA. A total of 140 affected people in Sweden and more than half – 80 cases – are linked to a restaurant on the island of Öland.
Several people have been seriously ill and hospitalized. All have suffered Salmonella Enteritidis and will likely be infected in Sweden, according to the NFA.
Since half a year back, when the outbreak started, working the Public Health Agency and Food Administration “intensively” with the infectious disease units and municipalities to track the source, according to the authority.
They work based on the hypothesis that the source of infection is common to all cases and to find the provtar to a large number of foods.
