The notice concerns the specific batch codes and date marking shown above. The FSAI alert does not state that other SuperValu smoked salmon packs are affected.
Why has the smoked salmon been recalled?
The products are being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a microbiological food recall Ireland consumers should take seriously, particularly if the affected product may be eaten without further cooking.
According to the FSAI, infection can cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea in healthy people. However, listeriosis can be more serious for people who are especially vulnerable, including pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The incubation period can vary. The FSAI states that it averages around three weeks but may range from three to 70 days. This information does not mean that anyone who has eaten the product will become ill, but it explains why concerns may arise some time after consumption.
What consumers should do
Consumers are advised not to eat either affected SuperValu Smoked Salmon product if it has the listed batch code and the use-by date of 17 October 2026.
- Check the product name, pack size, batch code and use-by date.
- Do not eat the product if it matches one of the affected entries.
- Keep the product separate from other food while dealing with it.
- Follow the retailer’s instructions about returning or disposing of the product.
- Do not assume that a different batch or date is included unless an official update confirms this.
The official alert specifically instructs consumers not to eat the affected salmon. It does not provide additional receipt or refund details in the notice. Consumers seeking return information should contact the SuperValu store where the product was purchased.
Who may be most vulnerable to Listeria?
Listeria monocytogenes infection can affect anyone, but the potential consequences may be more serious for certain groups. The FSAI identifies pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems as particularly vulnerable.
Anyone who has eaten the affected product and is concerned about their health should seek appropriate medical advice. People should not use this article to diagnose an illness or decide on personalised treatment.
Where was the product sold?
The alert identifies SuperValu in connection with the recalled products. It instructs retailers to remove the affected packs from sale and display recall notices at points of sale. The notice does not list individual SuperValu branches or state that every store sold the products.
This means shoppers should rely on the exact product identifiers rather than assuming that all SuperValu smoked salmon is affected. The batch code and use-by date are especially important when checking a pack.
