What happened

Royal Seafood Baza is recalling Pacific Herring Fillets in Oil sold under the FRESH SEAFOOD label because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause illness. The recall affects two package sizes sold in seven states.

Who is at risk

Everyone can be affected, but pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness from Listeria.

What to do

Check if you have either package size (10.9 oz or 16.2 oz) with the listed UPC codes. If you do, do not eat it—throw it away or return it to the store. Contact your doctor if you develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or nausea after eating this product.
