Why has the product been recalled?
The Good Fish Company is recalling the specified batches because of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The FSAI has classified the notification as a Category 1 food safety alert and asked retailers to remove the affected packs from sale.
Listeria infection may cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, in otherwise healthy people. The FSAI states that infection can be severe in people who are more vulnerable, including pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The incubation period can vary. According to the alert, symptoms may appear after an average of three weeks, with the possible period ranging from three to 70 days.
What consumers should do
If you have Skellig Bay Smoked Salmon Slices with either affected use-by date, do not eat them. Keep the packaging available so the product can be identified, and follow any return or disposal instructions provided by Aldi or the retailer.
- Check your refrigerator for the 200g product.
- Confirm whether the use-by date is 04/11/26 or 06/11/26.
- Do not consume the affected pack.
- Do not serve it to another person or use it in a recipe.
- Contact Aldi for specific return or refund arrangements if required.
The official notice confirms that consumers should not eat the implicated batches. It does not state whether a receipt is required or whether a refund is available, so shoppers should check directly with Aldi before returning the product.
Advice for people concerned about Listeria
Anyone who has eaten the affected product and is concerned about their health should seek appropriate medical advice. Pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems may be more vulnerable to serious complications from Listeria monocytogenes infection.
This is a microbiological food recall Ireland alert, not an indication that every smoked salmon product is affected. The notice applies only to the specified Skellig Bay packs and use-by dates identified by the FSAI.
