Which smoked salmon products are affected?

No other pack sizes, products, batches or dates have been identified in the supplied FSAI notice. Consumers should compare the use-by date on their packaging carefully rather than assuming that every Skellig Bay product is affected.
Why has the product been recalled?
The Good Fish Company is recalling the specified batches because of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a microbiological food recall Ireland consumers should take seriously, particularly if the product is being considered for consumption without further cooking.
Listeria infection can cause mild flu-like or gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy people, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. The FSAI states that infection can be severe and lead to serious complications in people who are more vulnerable, including pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The incubation period can vary considerably. According to the FSAI notice, it averages three weeks but can range from three to 70 days. This information does not mean that anyone who has eaten the product will become ill, but it explains why consumers should follow the recall advice even if they currently feel well.
What consumers should do
Consumers should not use the affected packs. Check the label on any Skellig Bay Smoked Salmon Slices in your possession and compare the use-by date with the two dates listed above.
- Do not eat the product if it has a use-by date of 04/11/26 or 06/11/26.
- Do not serve it to anyone, including people who may be particularly vulnerable to Listeria infection.
- Keep the product separate from other food while arranging its return or disposal in line with the retailer’s instructions.
- Follow advice from Aldi or the official FSAI notice regarding the next step.
The official notice does not provide separate receipt or refund details. Consumers seeking information about returning the product should contact Aldi or the store where it was purchased.
Advice for higher-risk consumers
Pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are identified by the FSAI as more vulnerable to serious complications from Listeria monocytogenes infection. They should take particular care not to consume the affected smoked salmon.
Anyone who has eaten the recalled product and is concerned about their health should seek appropriate medical advice. This article cannot assess an individual’s risk or provide personalised medical guidance.
How to check a recalled food batch
When checking this product, look for the product name, 200g pack size and use-by date printed on the packaging. The FSAI notice supplied for this recall lists the affected dates but does not provide a separate printed batch code or barcode.
Retailers have been asked to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at the point of sale. If you are unsure whether a pack matches the notice, do not consume it until you have confirmed its status with Aldi or the FSAI.
