[sieved, strained or screened] frozen roe

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!

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

There isn't a lot to go on from the text provided, but this is my guess.

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