Smoked Salmon Recalled Nationwide Due to Possible Listeria Contamination

Salmon is a delicious, healthy, and versatile protein to cook any night of the week. But before reaching for it, be sure to check the packaging. As of June 25, Foppen Seafood's Smoked Norwegian Salmon Slices have been recalled due to possible listeria contamination, according to an announcement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The recalled salmon slices were sold in 8.1 ounce packages with a clear plastic window cut out on the front. The package comes with three different flavors of toast-sized salmon slices: pepper, traditional, and dill. The product can be identified by the lot number 412.

The salmon was sold in Kroger and Payless Supermarkets and has been recalled across 15 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.

Per the FDA, listeria monocytogenes is a type of bacteria that, when consumed, can cause listeriosis. Listeriosis is a disease that typically develops a few hours or up to three days after eating contaminated food. Symptoms may vary depending on the severity of the illness and can last from days to several weeks. Some symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches and diarrhea.
