UpRiver Norwegian Smoked Salmon Recalled for Listeria Monocytogenes

Mkg Provisions Inc is recalling UpRiver Norwegian Smoked Salmon Peppered due to a private lab result positive for Listeria Monocytogenes.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4. Additionally, the presence of Listeria Monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat product typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of mitigating factors, and Class I recalls are defined as situations where there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
