What happened

Primary-source statement · Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc., a Brooklyn wholesale distributor, announced an October 9 recall of Starfish Seafood Trio containing cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. Its notice, published on the FDA website, identifies eight-ounce vacuum-sealed packages, lot D139149161-153, with the printed expiration date 12/01/2027. The company says the product was distributed in New York, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina. The specified lot and package details matter when identifying the recalled item. [U.S. Food and Drug Administration]

Why it matters

Primary-source statement · The company urges purchasers of the recalled product not to eat it and to return it to the store for a refund. It says it asked affected customers to stop sales and distribution, identify remaining stock and notify their customers. According to the announcement, the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets identified the potential contamination. That account is attributed to the distributor; this review did not independently examine the state’s test results. [U.S. Food and Drug Administration]

What remains unknown

Evidence limits · The company reported no illnesses connected with this product as of its October 9 announcement. That dated statement does not establish the position today or prove that nobody was exposed. The notice does not quantify the number of affected packages, identify every retailer or document completion of the recall. FDA hosting supplies access to the company’s original notice, not a second independent account. This briefing does not establish an outbreak or offer personal medical advice.
