A salami shop in Christchurch has gone up in flames.

Fire crews were called to the Verkerks factory and store on Vagues Rd in Northcote just after midnight.

Six trucks attended, and one remained at the scene on Tuesday morning, with the blaze now contained.

Nobody was inside at the time, and there are no injuries. 

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesperson said the fire was not suspicious, but an investigator would be looking into it to be sure.
