Why has the smoked salmon been recalled?
This product recall Ireland notice concerns the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause listeriosis. The official alert does not state that every pack is contaminated; it identifies the named batch as the subject of the recall because of the presence of the bacterium.
In healthy people, infection may cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. However, listeriosis can be more serious for people who are particularly vulnerable, including pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The FSAI says the incubation period can vary considerably. It averages around three weeks but may range from three to 70 days. Anyone who has eaten the affected product and is concerned about their health should seek appropriate medical advice.
Retailer action and official guidance
The FSAI has asked retailers to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at points of sale. The alert does not name individual supermarket chains or confirm that every branch stocked the product, so consumers should rely on the product identifiers rather than assume that all retailers are affected.
This is an FSAI food recall classified as Category 1 and marked “For Action”. The official notice is the appropriate source for any later correction, expansion or additional retailer information.
