What happened

Royal Seafood Baza is recalling specific packages of herring in oil sold under the FRESH SEAFOOD label because they may contain Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause illness. The recall affects products sold in 10.9 oz and 16.2 oz containers in seven states.

Who is at risk

Everyone should be concerned, but pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems face more serious health risks from this bacteria.

What to do

Check your refrigerator for the recalled herring products (UPC 825512 004915 or 825512 004922). If you have them, do not eat them—throw them away or return them to the store. Contact your doctor if you have consumed this product and develop symptoms like fever, chills, or muscle aches.
