Costco is recalling smoked salmon due to possible listeria contamination

After a spate of other similar recalls, Costco is now recalling its smoked salmon due to possible listeria contamination.

According to CNN’s John Towfighi, “According to a letter to customers dated Oct. 22, Costco said certain packages of its Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon purchased between Oct. 9 and Oct. 13 were affected by the recall.” The recall specifically refers to the Lot number 8512801270, and all customers who purchased the product should either discard it or return it to Costco for a refund.

“The recall was initiated by the store’s smoked salmon supplier, Acme Smoked Fish Corp., which identified potential Listeria bacteria in its product,” Towfighi reported. “No illnesses have been reported.” In a letter dated Oct. 22, ACME Smoked Fish CEO Eduardo Carbajosa wrote, “We regret this unfortunate incident and have taken immediate corrective action to ensure this issue never occurs again.”
