Costco is recalling packages of salmon over concerns they may be contaminated with listeria.
Acme Smoked Fish Corp., the trade club’s salmon supplier, sent a notice to Costco shoppers this week informing them of the recall of Kirkland Signature smoked salmon due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
The notice was sent to customers who, according to Costco records, purchased affected fish products between October 9 and 13. Only packages with lot number 8512801270 are affected.
Customers who purchased the recalled salmon are asked not to eat it and return it to a Costco store for a full refund.
“We regret this unfortunate incident and have taken immediate corrective action to ensure this issue does not occur again,” said Eduardo Carbajosa, CEO of Acme Smoked Fish Corp.
