Safety Alert For Smoked Salmon. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Safety Alert to consumers about the recall of SMOKED SALMON SKINLESS SLICED SIDES because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The products involved are sold under the brand names: Imperial Salmon House, Superior brand Norwegian Cure; and Golden Eagle Smoked Salmon.
The alert extends to packages produced on June 13th, 2005 and sold in individual 2 to 4 lb. packages labeled: “Processed by Hickory House, Hialeah, FL 33016”, “21555, Product of the USA”, “keep frozen until ready to use.” They have a shelf life of 3-4 months if maintained in an un-opened frozen state or four days if kept refrigerated. The product was sold in Florida, Georgia, New York and Virginia.
The contamination was noted after routine testing by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can sometimes cause serious or fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as: high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
If you experience the symptoms listed above, you should contact your health care provider. No illnesses have been reported to date.
Consumers who have purchased this product are urged to destroy it. Questions may be directed to Golden Eagle Smoked Foods, Inc., DBA Hickory House, Hialeah, FL 33016 at (305) 512-5900.
