Costco is recalling packages of salmon due to concerns of the products being contaminated with listeria.

Acme Smoked Fish Corp, the store’s salmon provider, sent a notice to Costco shoppers this week informing them of the recall of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon, due to potential contamination with listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

The notice was sent to customers who Costco records show purchased affected fish products between October 9^th-13^th. Only packages from lot number 8512801270 are affected.

Customers who purchased the recalled salmon have been instructed not to eat it and return it for a full refund.

“We regret this unfortunate incident and have taken immediate corrective steps to ensure that this issue never happens again,” Acme Smoked Fish Corp. CEO Eduardo Carbajosa said.

Meanwhile, the Costco salmon is the latest food item to be recalled. TreeHouse Foods this month announced, and then later expanded a recall of more than 600 frozen waffle products because they could contain the bacteria.

Deli maker Boars Head is also under investigation following a deadly listeria outbreak linked to meat products distributed from its-now closed Virginia plant.

Listeria infections are known for causing fever, fatigue, and muscle aches, and in some cases cause stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions.
