Norwegian smoked salmon recalled in 15 states
Netherlands-based Foppen Seafood issued a recall for one lot of its Smoked Norwegian Salmon Slices after routine testing revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, the company announced in a statement dated June 22 and shared on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website Wednesday.
“At Foppen Seafood, we operate to the highest standards of health, safety and quality control. We have taken immediate steps to address this isolated incident and we are collaborating closely with Kroger and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure a swift resolution,” the company stated.
