Costco Smoked Salmon Recall Upgraded to Highest FDA Risk Level

The FDA warns of serious health risks from Listeria contamination in Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon sold in October 2024.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has reclassified the October 2024 recall of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon as a Class I recall, its highest risk level.
The recall affects 111 cases of smoked salmon distributed to Costco stores and a distribution center in Florida, with lot number 8512801270 and a 'Best By' date of November 13, 2024.
No illnesses have been reported, but Listeria monocytogenes contamination poses serious health risks, especially to pregnant individuals, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
Listeriosis, caused by Listeria, can result in symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, nausea, and severe complications like miscarriage or life-threatening infections in newborns.
Consumers are advised to discard or return affected products to Costco for a refund and contact Acme Smoked Fish Corp. for further information.
