[sieved, strained or screened] frozen roe
Explanation:
It is an expression from the culinary dept. It stems from French passer, and means to pass the product through a sieve/strain/screen. I am sorry for not being able to give you the exact English expression, but one of these three should do it.

Now, after looking up a few examples of French to English kitchen dictionaries, it seems that strain would be the best choice. "Strained frozen roe", it is!

Asker: No, it's not it. It is a list of raw materials for the production of liver pate, and one of the ingredients is "passert frossen rogn".

Don't know about Norway, but in the USA sell by/best by date doesn't mean the product cannot be used after that date, just that it is recommended for best quality.

Asker: It would be really weird, because it is one of the ingredients of a leverpostei.

agree  Michele Fauble: Of course. I had this as an idea, but couldn't find any confirmation for Norwegian. Realize now that it was the French term that was suggesting that meaning.

  -> Thank you, Michele. This expression might not be used by the average Norwegian, it belongs in world of professional chefs. Just like they use so many other French expressions: Not many Norwegians know that they regularly make Sauce Béchamel for fishballs
