Recall details: Banner Smoked Fish, Inc. of Brooklyn, NY is voluntarily recalling its SMOKED FISH (product names and photos of labels are listed below) of all products within expiry, in all package sizes, all package types and all lots.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled smoked fish were distributed through retails and distributions, also online purchasing in NY, NJ, IL, PA, CA, FL, NE, AZ, MA, MD, VA, NV, OR, WI, NC, SC, and GA area. The product comes in various sizes in both air packs and vacuum packages. The lot number or sell by date are placed on the back of the package. The products were found to be processed under unsanitary conditions.
The problem was discovered through FDA routine inspection. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
