Costco recalls seafood product due to listeria concerns

Dr. Marty Makary, a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, weighs in on the listeria outbreak in deli meats and a new study linking COVID-19 to a higher risk of hearing loss.

Another product sold at Costco has been recalled due to listeria concerns. This is the latest in a series of items highlighted by the wholesale club in recent weeks due to possible contamination by the potentially deadly bacteria.

Acme Smoked Fish has issued a voluntary recall of certain packages of Kirkland Smoke Salmon “out of an abundance of caution,” according to a notice to Costco members who purchased the products. The recall is limited to packages with batch number 8512801270.

Anyone who purchased the product is urged not to eat it and to return it to Costco for a full refund.

The items sold at Costco that were recalled last week due to listeria concerns were ReadyWise 110 Serving Emergency Protein Bucket, Red's Southwestern Grill Chicken Mini Burritos and 10 batches of El Monterey Mexican Grill Chicken & Cheese Taquitos.

Some of the recalls were related to the recent BrucePac recall of nearly 12 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products due to listeria issues.

MAJOR RETAILERS AND SCHOOLS AFFECTED BY BRUCEPAC MEAT RECALL

The recall was initiated by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), an agency of the USDA, after the products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes during routine product testing.

A subsequent FSIS investigation identified BrucePac RTE chickens as the source of the bacteria, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the frail or elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
