Santa Barbara Smokehouse Recalls Smoked Salmon for Listeria Risk
The Santa Barbara Smokehouse is recalling fresh and frozen cold smoked salmon due to potential Listeria Monocytogenes contamination.
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, and the presence of Listeria Monocytogenes contamination in ready-to-eat food is a high-risk pathogen scenario typically associated with severe health consequences, warranting the highest severity rating in the absence of specific injury reports that would lower the classification.
