Foppen Seafood, based in Harderwijk, The Netherlands, has recalled smoked salmon slices sold at Kroger stores.
The pull comes after routine testing revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogene. Mild symptoms can last from days to several weeks and may include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Older people, pregnant women, babies, and those with a weakened immune system are the most vulnerable.
The recalled product is Foppen Smoked Norwegian Salmon Slices — Toast sized, in the 8.1-ounce package.
The slices were distributed in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
Foppen Seafood said it has taken immediate steps to address the isolated incident and is collaborating closely with Kroger and the Food & Drug Administration.
