EU will check Norwegian delicacies: "The possible link between cured food and cancer can mean an EU ban if standards are not met.
Norway's Food Safety Authority has already begun collecting samples of the variety of special products made by the country's small scale artisan food producers, newspaper Nationen reports.
'This involves the core of Norwegian food culture and we will pursue the matter of niche food products,' FSA adviser Anders Tharaldsen said.
The FSA has been instructed to examine if traditional curing and preservation methods may lead to unacceptably high concentrations of carcinogens in the so-called PAH-group (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons).
Local producers will be the focus of this year's check, large scale producers have been monitored for several years.
