This warning covers any Royal Baltic cold-smoked fish product that may remain in consumers' homes or in the marketplace despite earlier recalls of certain Royal Baltic products in November and December 1999, and January 2000.
Royal Baltic produces a variety of smoked fish products at its Brooklyn, New York, plant that are distributed nationwide through retail stores. Products include, but are not limited to: Captain (sea bass), Smoked Captain, Variety Pack (salmon, trout, and captain), Salmon, Sea Bass, Turbot, Royal Trout, Lake Trout, Assorted Plate, Smoked Royal Trout, Smoked Turbot, Imperial European Style Smoked Salmon, Smoked Siomga, Assorted Pre-sliced Smoked Fish (siomga, captain, trout), Smoked Trout, and Smoked Lake Trout.
Since the cause of the Listeria contamination found in some lots of Royal Baltic's smoked fish has not been identified and corrected, FDA is issuing this warning as it continues to investigate this matter.
Consumers who have purchased any Royal Baltic cold-smoked fish products should not eat them, but instead return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 718-385- 8300.
