Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. of Brooklyn, New York, the distributor of Starfish Seafood Trio, voluntarily recalled the product after the possible contamination was found by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.
The other states where the product was distributed are New York, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts and North Carolina.
Listeria monocytogenes is found naturally in the environment and gets in food through contaminated farming practices or cross-contamination in processing facilities and kitchens, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
It can cause “serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in its recall notice.
“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,” the FDA said.
No illnesses have been reported so far.
The product was identified as being sold in 8 oz (227 g) packages as Starfish Seafood Trio – Cold Smoked Salmon, Halibut, Trout with lot number: D139149161-153, Expiration Date: 12/01/2027 and made in Latvia.
