November 9, 2022 — St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.A.-based seafood supplier Seven Seas International is voluntarily recalling Giant Food private-label Sockeye Smoked because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

June 7, 2021 — Banner Smoked Fish in Brooklyn, New York, is voluntarily recalling all of its smoked fish products within expiry in all packages, due the potential they may contain traces of listeria monocytogenes.
The potential contamination was discovered through routine FDA inspection and no illnesses have been reported.
July 20, 2018 — Royal Seafood Baza and Euroline Foods have agreed to stop processing a variety of ready-to-eat foods and certain salt-cured and pickled fish at their jointly owned facility in Staten Island, New York, as part of a consent decree entered this week in a federal court.
The decision was reached following a series of inspections and a warning letter dating back to 2015 by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to a press release. Royal Seafood Baza had earlier agreed to a voluntary nationwide recall of its ready-to-eat herring products after inspectors found evidence of listeria while collecting environmental samples, but subsequent inspections revealed that the company had not implemented adequate corrective actions, the agency said.
