1 February 2024 at 11:00 Salmon company has for several years sold salmon that is not suitable for human consumption An internal investigation at Pure Norwegian Seafood shows that for a number of years the company has sold salmon that is not suitable for human consumption. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority has been notified. A press release from Pure Norwegian Seafood (PNS) states that the board has carried out a comprehensive, independent investigation into suspected irregularities in the sale of frozen salmon. The investigation concludes that the company has for a number of years sold frozen salmon which, according to Norwegian regulations, is not suitable for “human consumption”, the press release states. In total, it will be around 500 tonnes of salmon. – In our opinion, the most serious thing is that the investigation reveals systematic and hidden sales of salmon that should not have been used for human consumption. Certain customers have, on request, been allowed to buy frozen salmon that has died by itself, is injured, sexually mature or so-called floor fish, says PNS chairman Helge Kvalvik in the press release.
