Salmon Recall: Listeria Threatens Seven States
6 Mar
Summary
- Recalled salmon sold in seven states due to Listeria contamination.
- The contamination was discovered via a random FDA sample.
- No illnesses reported, but refunds are being offered.
A voluntary recall has been issued for farm-raised Atlantic salmon sold in seven states due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected product is Wellsley Farms Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon, sold in 2-pound packages at BJ's Wholesale Club stores.
The contamination was detected through a random sample collected by the FDA. Listeria monocytogenes can cause short-term illness in healthy individuals and poses serious risks, including miscarriage and stillbirth, to pregnant women.
The recall, initiated on February 10, 2026, applies to lot 3896, with specific production and best-by dates. The salmon was sold in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia between January 31 and February 7, 2026.
Slade Gorton & Co., Inc., the recalling firm, is investigating the source of contamination. BJ's Wholesale Club is directly informing customers and providing refunds. The FDA classified this as a Class II recall, indicating potential for adverse health consequences that are temporary or medically reversible.
