Costco Recalls Smoked Salmon Due to Listeria Risk
The recall affects Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon sold earlier this month after potential contamination was identified by the supplier.
- The recall was initiated by Acme Smoked Fish Corporation, Costco's smoked salmon supplier, after tests detected listeria monocytogenes.
- Consumers are advised to return the affected salmon, which is packaged in twin 12-ounce units with lot number 8512801270 and a best-by date of November 13, 2024.
- Potentially contaminated salmon was distributed to Costco locations, including those in Florida, between October 9 and October 13.
- Listeria poses serious health risks, particularly to young children, seniors, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
- No illnesses have been reported, and customers are encouraged to seek refunds or safely dispose of the product to avoid contamination.
