Salmon sold at Kroger and Payless grocery stores has been recalled due to potential listeria contamination. Foppen Seafood is recalling its Smoked Norwegian Salmon Slices, specifically the 8.1 oz. ‘toast sized’ cuts sold in 15 states. The affected lot is 412.

Listeria, a bacterium that can lead to symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, was discovered during routine testing. Certain groups, including the elderly, pregnant women, infants under one month old, and individuals with weakened immune systems, are at higher risk of infection.

Consumers are advised to discard the salmon or return it to the store for a refund. It’s crucial to check your refrigerator for any of the recalled products to ensure food safety.

Stay informed about product recalls and food safety to protect yourself and your loved ones from potential health risks. Always follow the guidelines provided by food manufacturers and regulatory authorities to prevent foodborne illnesses.
