According to a statement posted on the two Michelin-starred restaurant's website, 63 out of 435 diners fell ill in the second week of February (February 12 - 16).
The outbreak of the so-called winter vomiting virus was reportedly due to a staff member who was a carrier for the bug but was not showing any symptoms.
"At Noma, having happy and satisfied guests is paramount to our daily work and lives, and is our number one priority," said Redzepi in the statement.
"Unfortunately during week seven, there were a number of cases were guests at Noma where hit by norovirus after their visit. It is a matter that deeply affects us all, and that we sincerely regret," he said.
All-clear
An inspection of the restaurant was conducted by Fødevarestyrelsen, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration run by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, on February 20.
The inspection was made after one of the diners affected emailed both the restaurant and Fødevarestyrelsen.
Noma was given the all-clear by the authorities after putting in new guidelines after the outbreak. The results of the inspection were posted on the front door to the restaurant and the venue's website.
However, a Danish news website published the results on Friday which resulted in widespread worldwide attention and frenzied, often incorrect, reporting from a number of media organisations.
One report claimed Noma had been criticised for not providing hot water for staff to wash their hands - in reality one of four sinks had lukewarm, as opposed to hot, water, a situation resolved immediately.
In the face of the furore surrounding the story, Redzepi released a lengthy statement over the weekend fully explaining the situation.
"We are of course devastated that this has happened and have done everything in our power to ensure it will not happen again," he said.
