Why has the smoked salmon been recalled?
The affected batch is being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a microbiological food recall involving a specific batch, rather than a warning covering every Wrights of Marino smoked salmon product.
Recall notices are being displayed at points of sale. Retailers have been asked to remove the implicated batch from sale so that it is no longer available to consumers.
What consumers should do
If you have the product, do not eat it. First check the packaging carefully against the official identifiers, particularly the batch code Yellow A38 and the use-by date 06/10/2026.
- Do not eat the affected batch.
- Keep the product separate from other food where practical.
- Follow the retailer’s instructions about returning or disposing of the product.
- Contact the retailer if you need further information about the recall.
The FSAI notice specifically advises consumers not to eat the implicated batch. It does not state that other batches, pack sizes or date markings are affected, so consumers should not assume that products outside the listed identifiers are included.
Who may be more vulnerable to Listeria infection?
According to the FSAI, Listeria monocytogenes 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 more vulnerable.
Groups identified by the FSAI as more vulnerable include:
- Pregnant women
- Infants
- Older adults
- People with weakened immune systems
The FSAI states that the incubation period—the time between infection and the first symptoms—averages three weeks but can range from three to 70 days. Anyone concerned after eating the affected product should seek appropriate medical advice.
Retailer action in this product recall Ireland alert
