UpRiver brand Cold Smoke Atlantic Salmon Balik Cut Sides Vacuum Packed

Mkg Provisions INC recalled UpRiver brand Cold Smoke Atlantic Salmon Balik Cut Sides Vacuum Packed in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Dec 18, 2012.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Results from the company lab samples revealed that some of the samples contained Listeria monocytogenes." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "FL and IL." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Miami, FL. The recall covers 1,020 lbs total of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 13, 2013), 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.
