Costco and Major Retailers Recall Products Over Listeria Concerns
A recent surge in food recalls includes Costco's smoked salmon and other items due to potential listeria contamination, with no reported illnesses so far.
- Costco has recalled its Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon and other products due to potential listeria contamination, joining a list of major retailers facing similar issues.
- Acme Smoked Fish Corp. initiated the recall after identifying possible listeria in their products, affecting salmon sold between October 9 and October 13.
- BrucePac's recall of nearly 12 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry has impacted numerous retailers and schools across the U.S.
- Despite the increase in recalls, experts suggest this reflects enhanced detection and monitoring rather than a spike in listeria outbreaks.
- Consumers are advised to check product lot numbers and return affected items for refunds, while maintaining proper food safety practices to prevent illness.
