Cracked Pepper Style Smoked Salmon Recalled for Listeria Risk

By Chrissie Cole

Trans-Ocean Products Inc., is recalling packages of 4 ounce Cracked Pepper Style Salmon (Lot No. 54933-2) due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The company has not received reports of illness in connection with the recall.

Pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable to Listeria. Symptoms of Listeriosis include, but are not limited to, fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Treatment typically involves antibiotics.
