Mill Stream Corp. (Sullivan Harbor Farm) Issues a Voluntary Recall of Cold Smoked Salmon

The FDA announced on its website that Mill Stream Corp. (Sullivan Harbor Farm) of Hancock, Maine recalled ten lots of Cold Smoked Salmon since it has the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum. No illnesses have been reported to date. The salt concentration in the water phase (water phase salt (WPS)) was below 3.5%. Labeling instructions state to keep refrigerated at or below 38ºF and that the product may be frozen. Because the WPS is under 3.5%, the product must remain frozen until ready to consume. Product stored in the refrigerator after thawing has the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum. The recalled product was sold between March 6, 2019, and September 17, 2019, in vacuum-sealed packages in the following sizes: whole salmon side, 2 lb., 1 lb., 8 oz., and 4 oz.  The smoked salmon products were sold and distributed in ME, MA, VT, RI, NY, CT, PA, NJ, OH, UT, IA, TN, MN, CO, FL, AZ, WI, WA, GA, IL, VA, MI, and TX. The products sold were through retail, wholesale and online orders. The affected product was sold frozen by Mill Stream Corp but may have been thawed by retailers before the sale.  @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/mill-stream-corp-sullivan-harbor-farm-issues-voluntary-recall-cold-smoked-salmon-because-possible
