Wrights of Marino smoked salmon recall details
The affected product is:
- Product: Wrights of Marino Sliced Smoked Salmon
- Pack size: 400g
- Batch code: Yellow A38
- Use-by date: 06/10/2026
- Approval number: IE DN0023 EC
- FSAI alert: 2026.61
Only the batch identified above is included in this notice. Consumers should not assume that other Wrights of Marino smoked salmon products, pack sizes or date markings are affected unless a further official update is issued.
Why the product has been recalled
The FSAI says the batch is being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a microbiological food recall Ireland notice, rather than a general withdrawal of every product from the brand.
Listeria infection can cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea in healthy people. However, infection can be more serious for people who are particularly vulnerable, including pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The incubation period can vary. The FSAI states that it averages three weeks but may range from three to 70 days. This does not mean that anyone who has eaten the product will become ill, but it explains why consumers should follow the official warning even if they currently feel well.
What consumers should do
If you have Wrights of Marino Sliced Smoked Salmon, check the batch code and use-by date against the details above. Do not eat the product if it is marked Yellow A38 and has a use-by date of 06/10/2026.
- Do not eat the affected batch.
- Keep the packaging available so the product can be identified accurately.
- Follow the retailer’s arrangements for handling the recalled food.
- If you have concerns after consuming the product, seek appropriate medical advice.
The official notice does not state that a receipt is unnecessary, nor does it provide a specific refund procedure. Consumers should contact the retailer where they bought the product for return and refund information.
Advice for people at higher risk
Pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are identified by the FSAI as more vulnerable to serious complications from Listeria monocytogenes infection. Anyone in these groups who is concerned after eating the affected product should seek medical guidance.
This is not a diagnosis or personalised medical advice. People who develop symptoms or are worried about possible exposure should contact an appropriate healthcare professional.
Retailer action in Ireland
Retailers, wholesalers, distributors, caterers and manufacturers have been asked to remove the implicated batch from sale. Recall notices are also being displayed at points of sale so customers can identify the product warning in stores.
The FSAI notice does not name individual supermarket chains or confirm that every retailer in Ireland stocked the salmon. Therefore, shoppers should rely on the product identifiers rather than assume that all smoked salmon products or all branches are affected.
How to check a recalled food batch
For this product recall Ireland alert, consumers should compare three details on the packaging:
- The product name: Wrights of Marino Sliced Smoked Salmon.
- The pack size: 400g.
- The batch and date information: Yellow A38 and use-by 06/10/2026.
The approval number, IE DN0023 EC, may also help identify the product. If the information does not match the affected batch, the product is not identified in this particular FSAI notice. Consumers should still follow any newer official alert if one is published.
