Why the smoked salmon has been recalled
The products are being recalled because of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a microbiological food recall, rather than a general withdrawal of all smoked salmon products. Only the products and dates identified in the FSAI alert are included in the notice.
Listeria monocytogenes infection may cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, in otherwise healthy people. The FSAI warns that infection can be severe in more vulnerable groups and may result in serious complications.
People identified as more vulnerable include:
- Pregnant women
- Infants
- Older adults
- People with weakened immune systems
The incubation period can vary. According to the FSAI, symptoms may appear on average around three weeks after infection, but the reported range is between three and 70 days. Anyone concerned about their health after eating an affected product should seek appropriate medical advice.
What consumers should do
If you have one of the listed products with an affected use-by date, do not eat it. The FSAI’s consumer instruction is to avoid consuming the implicated batches.
- Check the product name, pack size and use-by date against the table.
- Do not eat smoked salmon matching the listed details.
- Keep the product separate from other food to avoid possible cross-contamination.
- Follow the retailer’s recall instructions for returning or disposing of the product.
- Seek appropriate medical advice if you have eaten the product and are concerned about symptoms.
The FSAI notice does not state whether a receipt is required, whether every store will offer a refund, or whether the product must be returned to the original branch. Consumers should contact the SuperValu or Centra store where the product was purchased for specific return and refund information.
Which retailers are involved?
The alert concerns SuperValu and Centra-branded smoked salmon products. The official notice does not identify individual branches or confirm that every store stocked every product. Recall notices are being displayed at points of sale, and retailers have been asked to remove the affected products from sale.
Wholesalers and distributors have also been asked to contact affected customers and support the recall process. This means the availability of individual products may differ between stores.
