Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. of Brooklyn, New York, has announced the recall of a lot of Starfish Seafood Trio containing cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout, according to an October 9 announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The product was distributed in New York, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina. The recalled Latvia-made seafood comes in vacuum-sealed, 8-ounce packages bearing lot number D139149161-153 and expiration date 12/01/2027.

New York State agriculture officials identified the potential contamination. Krasnyi Oktyabr, a wholesale distributor, said it did not manufacture the seafood.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe infections, particularly in older adults, young children and people with weakened immune systems. Infection during pregnancy can cause miscarriage or stillbirth. Symptoms may include fever, headache, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
