Seafood firm Seven Seas International USA recalled several of its smoked salmon products due to concerns that they might be contaminated with infectious bacteria.
Seven Seas of St. Petersburg, Florida, is voluntarily recalling 295 cases of Biltmore Smoked Sockeye Salmon because of the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, according to a March 14 announcement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe and even fatal infections, especially among older adults, preschool children, and immunocompromised people. Among pregnant women, the disease can cause stillbirths and miscarriages.
