- Pack sizes: 40g and 150g
- Use-by date: 17/10/26
- Approval number: IE DN0012 EU
- Country of origin: Ireland
- Reason for recall: Presence of Listeria monocytogenes
- FSAI alert: 2026.63
The alert is classified as Category 1 and is marked “For Action”. It concerns the specific product and date marking identified above. Consumers should not assume that other SuperValu Smoked Salmon packs are affected unless they carry the same details.
Why Has the Smoked Salmon Been Recalled?
The SuperValu product recall Ireland notice concerns the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause listeriosis. The FSAI has advised that symptoms in healthy people may include mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
The 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 can vary considerably, averaging around three weeks but ranging from three to 70 days.
This information does not mean that every person who eats the product will become ill. However, because the presence of the bacterium has prompted an official recall, the affected batch should not be consumed.
What Consumers Should Do
If you have SuperValu Smoked Salmon with a use-by date of 17/10/26, check the pack carefully against the product details in the alert. If it matches the recalled product, do not eat it.
- Set the product aside and do not serve it.
- Do not rely on smell or appearance to decide whether it is safe.
- Follow instructions from the retailer when returning or disposing of the product.
- Check other packs separately rather than assuming all smoked salmon is included.
The official notice specifically tells consumers not to eat the implicated batch. It does not state in the supplied alert whether a receipt is required for a refund or provide separate return arrangements, so consumers should contact the store for retailer-specific refund information.
Advice for People at Greater Risk
Listeria infection can be more severe in certain groups, including pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Anyone who has eaten the recalled product and is concerned about their health should seek appropriate medical advice, particularly if they develop symptoms or belong to a higher-risk group.
