Skellig Bay Smoked Salmon Slices in 200g packs are being recalled from Aldi stores in Ireland because specific batches contain Listeria monocytogenes. Consumers should check the use-by date immediately and must not eat the affected packs.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued the food recall Ireland alert on Monday, 12 October 2026. The recall concerns products made by The Good Fish Company and applies only to the identified use-by dates listed below.

Which Skellig Bay smoked salmon is affected?
The recalled food products are specific 200g packs of Skellig Bay Smoked Salmon Slices carrying either of the following use-by dates:
| Product | Pack size | Use-by date | Retailer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skellig Bay Smoked Salmon Slices | 200g | 04/11/26 | Aldi |
| Skellig Bay Smoked Salmon Slices | 200g | 06/11/26 | Aldi |
The FSAI notice does not provide a separate batch number, lot number or barcode. Consumers should therefore use the product name, pack size and use-by date to check whether their pack is included.
Why has the smoked salmon been recalled?
The Good Fish Company is recalling the affected batches because of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The action is recorded by the FSAI as a Category 1 alert for action, and recall notices will be displayed at the point of sale in Aldi stores.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis. The FSAI says symptoms in healthy people may include mild flu-like illness or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
The infection can be more serious for people who are particularly vulnerable, including:
- Pregnant women
- Infants
- Older adults
- People with weakened immune systems
The FSAI states that the average incubation period is three weeks, although it can range from three to 70 days. This means symptoms may not appear immediately after eating an affected product.
What consumers should do
Anyone who has bought Skellig Bay Smoked Salmon Slices should check the pack size and use-by date before consuming it. If the product is a 200g pack marked 04/11/26 or 06/11/26, do not eat it.
- Stop using the product immediately.
- Do not serve it to anyone else.
- Keep the packaging available so the product can be identified.
- Follow Aldi’s recall notice or contact the store for return and refund information.
The official FSAI instruction is that consumers should not eat the implicated batches. The notice does not confirm whether a receipt is required or specify the refund process, so customers should check directly with Aldi before returning the product.
Advice for people who may be vulnerable to listeriosis
Pregnant women, infants, older people and those with weakened immune systems face a greater risk of severe complications from Listeria monocytogenes infection. Anyone who has eaten an affected pack and is concerned about their health should seek appropriate medical advice.
This recall should not be confused with a general warning about every smoked salmon product or every Skellig Bay product. The FSAI notice identifies only the 200g packs with the two specified use-by dates.
