Specific batches of five smoked salmon products sold under SuperValu and Inspired By Centra branding have been recalled in Ireland because of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Consumers should check the product name and use-by date carefully and should not eat any affected pack.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued the Category 1 food recall on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, under alert notification 2026.66. The affected products are from Ireland, and recall notices are being displayed at points of sale.

Why the smoked salmon was recalled
The products are being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause listeriosis. This is a microbiological food recall Ireland shoppers should take seriously, but the official notice applies specifically to the products and use-by dates named above.
In healthy people, infection may cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. The FSAI says 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 considerably. According to the FSAI, symptoms may appear on average after three weeks, but the period can range from three to 70 days.
What consumers should do
Consumers who have bought one of the affected products should check the exact product description, pack size and use-by date. If it matches the details in the table, do not eat it.
- Do not consume an affected pack.
- Keep the product separate from other food until you can follow the retailer’s return or disposal instructions.
- Check the packaging against the listed use-by date rather than relying only on the product name.
- Contact the relevant store if you need advice about returning the product or any available refund.
The FSAI consumer instruction is clear: the implicated batches should not be eaten. The alert does not state whether a receipt is required or set out a specific refund process, so consumers should confirm those practical details with the retailer.
Which retailers are involved?
The affected products are branded as SuperValu and Inspired By Centra products. Retailers have been asked to 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 and support the recall process.
This means the warning relates to the listed products and dates, not automatically to every smoked salmon product, every SuperValu item or every Centra product. Packs with different product descriptions or use-by dates have not been identified in the supplied FSAI notice.
Advice for people concerned about listeriosis
Listeria monocytogenes infection can affect people differently. Pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are considered more vulnerable to serious complications. Anyone who has eaten an affected product and is concerned about their health should seek appropriate medical guidance.
This article does not replace advice from a healthcare professional. People with concerns should refer to official health guidance or contact a medical professional, particularly if they are in a higher-risk group.
