The recalled whole smoked salmon sent to restaurants is packed in unlabeled paper boxes. The recalled whole smoked salmon is from lot numbers 13723516 and 12125316, with use-by dates of Sept. 12 and 30 respectively. The recall notice did not state where restaurant operators can find the lot numbers or dates on the whole smoked salmon. Anyone who has eaten the recalled salmon and develops symptoms of Listeria infection should seek medical attention and inform their doctors about their possible exposure to Listeria monocytogenes. It can take up to 70 days for Listeria infection symptoms to become apparent. The infections can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the recall notice. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
