Northern Fish Products, INC. recalled PREMIUM SMOKED SALMON in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Nov 10, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Northern Fish Products is recalling hot smoked salmon, black cod, steelhead, and trout, with the exception of hot jerky salmon and jerky salmon due to undeclared soy." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Military commissaries." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Tacoma, WA. The recall covers 28,487 lbs.(total) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 28, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
