Why has the product been recalled?
SuperValu Smoked Salmon is being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a confirmed microbiological food recall rather than a general warning about all smoked salmon products.
SuperValu is arranging recall notices at points of sale, while retailers have been asked to remove the implicated batch from sale. The FSAI has classified the alert as Category 1 and issued it for action.
What consumers should do
Anyone who has bought the affected product should take the following steps:
- Check whether the pack is SuperValu Smoked Salmon in either the 40g or 150g size.
- Check the use-by date and approval number against the recall details.
- Do not eat the affected batch.
- Follow the retailer’s recall and return instructions.
The FSAI notice advises consumers not to eat the implicated batch. The source alert does not provide specific information about receipt requirements, refunds or whether the product must be returned to the original store, so consumers should contact SuperValu or the relevant store for those arrangements.
Who may be most vulnerable to Listeria?
Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, in healthy people. The infection can be more serious in vulnerable groups.
People identified by the FSAI as more vulnerable include:
- Pregnant women
- Infants
- Older adults
- People with weakened immune systems
The incubation period can vary. According to the alert, the average period between infection and the first symptoms is three weeks, although it can range from three to 70 days. Anyone concerned after consuming the affected product should seek appropriate medical guidance.
Was every SuperValu smoked salmon product affected?
No. The notice concerns the specified SuperValu Smoked Salmon batch with a use-by date of 17/10/26, in 40g and 150g packs. Consumers should rely on the exact product identifiers rather than assume that all smoked salmon products, all SuperValu products or all date codes are included.
