September 27th, 2016 — A New York company is recalling an undisclosed amount of smoked salmon from retailers and restaurants because federal inspectors found Listeria monocytogenes at the company’s production facility.
Mt. Kisco Smokehouse of Mt. Kisco, NY, recalled two lots of whole Atlantic smoked salmon and four lots of sliced Atlantic salmon Monday, according to a notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
The company distributed the implicated fish to retailers and restaurants in two states, New York and Connecticut, between Sept. 6 and 16.
No illnesses had been reported in relation to the recalled fish as of Monday.
“The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing by the FDA inspection revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in floor drains and cracks in the floor,” according to the recall notice.
“The production of the product has been suspended while FDA and the company continue to investigate the source of the problem.”
