Food recall Ireland: Several Centra and SuperValu smoked salmon products are being recalled because of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Consumers should check the product name, pack size and use-by date before eating any affected salmon.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued the Category 1 alert on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, under alert notification 2026.66. The products originated in Ireland, and recall notices are being displayed at points of sale.

The FSAI alert does not provide a separate batch code or barcode in the supplied product-identification table. Consumers should therefore use the exact product description, pack size and use-by date when checking any smoked salmon they have at home.
Why the smoked salmon has been recalled
The products are being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a microbiological food recall Ireland shoppers should take seriously, particularly if they are in a group more vulnerable to infection.
The FSAI says that healthy people may experience mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Infection can be severe and lead to serious complications in vulnerable people, 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 reported range extending from three to 70 days after initial infection.
What consumers should do
Consumers are advised not to eat any of the affected smoked salmon products listed above. Check the packaging carefully against the product name, pack size and use-by date in the table.
- Do not consume a matching product.
- Keep the product separate from other food if it is still in your refrigerator.
- Follow the retailer’s instructions regarding the recalled product.
- Check any opened or unopened packs against the listed use-by dates.
- If you are concerned after eating an affected product, seek appropriate medical advice.
The official notice does not specify receipt requirements, refund arrangements or whether the product must be returned to the original store. Consumers should contact the relevant Centra or SuperValu store for return and refund information rather than assume that a particular process applies.
Which retailers are involved?
The affected products are sold under the SuperValu and Centra own-brand ranges. The FSAI has requested that retailers remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at points of sale.
Wholesalers and distributors have also been asked to contact affected customers, recall the implicated batches and provide point-of-sale notices to retailer customers. The alert does not state that every Centra or SuperValu branch sold every listed product, so consumers should check the packaging details rather than rely on the store location alone.
Who may be most at risk?
Listeria infection can affect anyone, but the FSAI specifically identifies pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems as more vulnerable to serious illness. This makes it especially important for households supporting someone in one of these groups to check refrigerated smoked salmon carefully.
This article does not provide personal medical advice. Anyone who is worried about symptoms or has a health concern after eating the product should contact a qualified healthcare professional.
