Why the smoked salmon has been recalled
The recalled food products Ireland notice concerns the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause listeriosis. The FSAI describes possible symptoms in healthy people as mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Listeria infection can be more serious for people who are particularly vulnerable. This includes pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. The FSAI states that the incubation period averages three weeks but can range from three to 70 days.
This is a confirmed food safety warning Ireland involving specific smoked salmon products. It does not mean that every smoked salmon product, every pack size or every date from the brands is affected.
