Sweden: Retail egg recalls for salmonella
On 27 August 2025, Sweden’s National Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket) announced precautionary recalls of specific retail egg products following the detection of Salmonella in the laying-barn environment of a producer. The recalls apply to Axfood’s Garant brand, ICA private-label packs, and Lidl Sweden products.
Kronägg AB, the packing company associated with the recalled lots, simultaneously initiated its own recall of multiple pack sizes carrying the same egg stamp and packer code. According to Kronägg, the Salmonella was identified in the hen house environment during routine monitoring.
The Public Health Agency of Sweden (Folkhälsomyndigheten) has confirmed seven cases of Salmonella Enteritidis with illness onsets between 2 and 14 August 2025. Epidemiological interviews suggest that several of these cases may be connected to the eggs recalled on 27 August, with additional suspected cases currently undergoing confirmatory typing.
