K O'Connell Fishmongers Smoked Salmon Slices recalled due to Listeria risk

K O'Connell Fishmongers is recalling their Smoked Salmon Slices because of the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause infection. The specific batches affected are available in pack sizes of 100g, 150g, and 320g, all with a use-by date of 17/07/2026. This recall follows an earlier food alert and includes an additional use-by date that has been identified as a concern.

Listeria monocytogenes can lead to symptoms such as mild flu-like signs or gastrointestinal issues, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. While many people may experience mild symptoms, the infection can be more severe for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, infants, and individuals with weakened immune systems. The incubation period for the infection can vary significantly, making it important to take this recall seriously.

Consumers are advised not to consume the affected salmon slices and to check their purchases against the recall information. Retailers have been instructed to remove the implicated products from sale and to display recall notices to inform customers about the potential risk.
