Thu Jan 30 18:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Costco’s Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon Recall Elevated to Highest Risk Level
**Cincinnati, OH** – A recall of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon sold at Costco has been upgraded to a Class I recall by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the agency’s most serious classification. The recall, initially issued in October 2024, now reflects a “reasonable probability” that consuming the affected product could cause serious illness or death due to potential Listeria Monocytogenes contamination.
The recall affects 111 cases of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon (twin 12-ounce packages, UPC 0 96619 25697 6, Lot 8512801270, Best By date 11/13/2024). While the product has been off shelves for some time, the FDA urges consumers who may have purchased and stored the salmon to immediately discard it or return it to Costco for a full refund. Consumers can find further information on the FDA website. The FDA stresses the importance of checking freezers for the affected product.
