A batch of Wright of Howth’s Organic Irish Smoked Salmon is being recalled due to the possible presence of listeria monocytogenes.
Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications. Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.
The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days.
The recalled Wrights of Howth product has a batch code of 32P, has a use-by date of 22 June, and applies to all pack sizes.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland today said retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batch and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers. Caterers should not use the implicated batch.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch.
