Follow-Up: FDA Upgrades Two Starfish Smoked Seafood Recalls to Class I, Its Highest Risk Level; 86 Cases Each of Smoked Norwegian Salmon and Smoked Trio Over Listeria

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) upgraded two Starfish Seafood smoked seafood recalls to Class I, its highest risk classification, on November 3. The FDA defines Class I as a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. Both recalls were first issued voluntarily on October 6 by Brooklyn-based wholesale distributor Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc., more than a month before the upgrade.

Both products were made in Latvia. The first is Starfish Seafood Premium Cold Smoked Norwegian Salmon Sliced in 227g/8oz vacuum packs, UPC 4751048940099, lot D080-148, best before November 27, 2027, distributed in New York, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio. The second is the Starfish Seafood Trio, an 8-ounce vacuum-sealed pack of cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout, lot D139149161-153, best before December 1, 2027, distributed in New York, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina. About 86 cases of each product were recalled.

The contamination was identified through testing by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. No illnesses had been reported, and the distributor said it had introduced additional testing and sanitation measures.
