Felix Custom Smoking of Monroe, Washington, is a processor of a variety of ready-to-eat salmon, squid jerky, frozen, hot smoked, and cold-smoked seafood.

The FDA detected the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes and other strains of Listeria during an inspection at Felix Custom Smoking that began on July 19, 2021, and is still ongoing. As part of the inspection, on July 19, 2021, the FDA collected environmental samples from the firm, consisting of 104 samples from direct food contact surfaces and areas near direct food contact surfaces. Laboratory analysis shows that of the 104 samples collected, 19 tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, and four tested positive for other strains of Listeria. Of the 19 samples that were positive for Listeria monocytogenes, five were collected from food contact surfaces. The FDA has notified Felix of its findings, but the company has refused to initiate a recall and is currently processing seafood. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-information/public-health-alert-concerning-possible-listeria-contamination-felix-custom-smoking-seafood-products?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
