Published:
A New York firm is recalling its herring fillets because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The Latis brand Herring Fillet in Oil with Spices is packaged in 7 oz (200 grams) plastic containers and marked with a best-by date of “Best before (L): 11.02.2014.” The UPC on this product is 4 751004 079429.  The herring fillets were distributed in New York State.  No illnesses have been connected to the recalled products to date.
