Overview
- Eight-ounce vacuum-packed Cold Smoked Salmon (Lot 219) and Cold Smoked Seabass (Lot 212) are the only products included in the recall.
- Packages can be identified by a Haifa 219 or 212 sticker on vacuum-sealed fish mounted on paperboard under plastic.
- New York agriculture inspectors detected Listeria monocytogenes in samples, which a state lab then confirmed.
- The products were delivered to retailers and distributors nationwide, and the FDA advises returning affected items for a full refund.
- No illnesses have been reported, though officials stress elevated risk for pregnant people, older adults, children, and those with weakened immune systems, and note Listeria can survive refrigeration and freezing.
