USA – FDA – Recall Cold Smoked Salmon – Listeria monocytogenes

FDA

Potential Listeria-positive products have been identified and we can
confirm that Delifish S.A. has issued a voluntary recall of cold smoked salmon
products potentially containing Listeria monocytogenes placed on the
market in the USA produced from lots 249 through 291, manufactured between
September 5 2012 and October 17, 2012. There have been no complaints or
illnesses reported. Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can
cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly
people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals
may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache,
stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can
cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
