Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Aaron's Gourmet Smoked Fish is recalling approximately 13 cases and 90 bags of its King, Sockeye, and Steelhead smoked salmon because the products were produced and sold without necessary licensure and regulatory oversight. This lack of oversight means the products may not have been processed correctly to prevent the growth of Clostridium botulinum, which can cause life-threatening food poisoning. These fish products were sold in glass jars and vacuum-sealed plastic bags in Oregon with 'Sell By 2022' dates. Consumers should not eat these products and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The products may contain Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that produces a potent neurotoxin. This can cause botulism, a severe and potentially fatal form of food poisoning characterized by muscle paralysis, difficulty breathing, and swallowing.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate any Aaron's Gourmet Smoked Fish (King, Sockeye, or Steelhead) in your refrigerator or pantry packaged in glass jars or vacuum plastic bags.
  2. Check the labels for the following information: 'AARON'S GOURMET SMOKED FISH', 'Portland Oregon (503) 372-9849', 'Quinault Tribal Seafoods', and 'Traditional Native American Smoked Wild Salmon'.
  3. Look for the 'Sell By 2022' date on the packaging to confirm if your product is included in this recall.
  4. Do not open or consume the fish; even if the product does not look or smell spoiled, it may still contain dangerous toxins.
  5. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Aaron's Gourmet Smoked Fish directly at (503) 372-9849.
  6. For additional questions or to report a related illness, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
