Haifa Smoked Fish, based in New York, is recalling its cold-smoked salmon and cold-smoked sea bass, according to a Wednesday press release from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The recall was issued because the products may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a disease-causing bacteria. <\/p>\n
Two lots are affected by this food warning, including Haifa\u2019s COLD SMOKED SALMON, sold in 8-oz packages, with the Lot code 219, and Haifa\u2019s COLD SMOKED SEA BASS, sold in 8-oz packages, with the Lot code 212. <\/p>\n
The contamination of the fish was \u201cdiscovered after sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors, and subsequent analysis of Food Laboratory personnel revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes,\u201d according to the press release. <\/p>\n
Both of the affected products were sold nationwide through retail stores and distributors. The salmon and sea bass were packaged on a paperboard with flexible plastic. <\/p>\n

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Listeria infection is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States, killing roughly 260 people per year. <\/p>\n

Only two weeks ago, multiple bags of Endico frozen vegetables were recalled because they may have been contaminated with Listeria.<\/p>\n
The recalled products were sold in frozen 2.5-pound clear plastic bags under the Endico label. One affected product is peas and carrots, with the Lot 110625, production date of June 11, 2025, and use by date of June 10, 2027. The second affected product is frozen mixed vegetables, with the lot 170625, production date of June 17, 2025, and use by date of June 16, 2027.<\/p>\n
Last month, the Middlefield Original Cheese Co-Op facility in Ohio recalled over 5,000 pounds of cheese due to potential Listeria contamination with Listeria.<\/p>\n
Also in August, Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions, LLC, recalled boxes of its Member\u2019s Mark Freeze Dried Fruit Variety Pack over Listeria concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
