This product is labelled with an incorrect 'use-by' date of 25 June 2026 which makes it unsafe to eat after the correct use-by date of 25 April 2026.
Eating food past its use-by date can lead to food poisoning, with symptoms including diarrhoea, vomiting, and fever. Young children, older people, and those with weakened immune systems are most at risk from food poisoning. The specific timeline for when the incorrect labeling was discovered and the recall initiated remains unclear.
Food poisoning linked to ready-to-eat fish products is commonly caused by bacteria such as listeria and salmonella. Listeria can cause flu-like symptoms and severe illness in vulnerable groups, while salmonella infection can cause gastrointestinal illness lasting several days. Scombroid poisoning, caused by histamine buildup in fish, can occur if fish is not stored correctly. The main risk for chilled ready-to-eat salmon products is bacterial growth, particularly listeria, if eaten past the use-by date or stored incorrectly.
As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling The Fishmonger Hot Smoked 2 Salmon Fillets – Honey Roasted because the incorrect Use by Date is printed on pack.
