### **UPDATE - Salmolux** Voluntarily Recalls **Cold Smoked Salmon Products** Because of Possible Health Risk

**Contact:**  
Consumer  
(253) 874-2026

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** \- May 31, 2013 - This is a clarification update to the Salmolux press release announcing its voluntary recall of certain cold smoked salmon products. This update does not add to the total pounds recalled, but merely adds clarifications on description of products and one more UPC code only.

On May 25th, 2013, Salmolux of Federal Way, WA, voluntarily recalled certain of its **cold smoked salmon products, described below,**because of the potential to be contaminated with *Listeria monocytogenes,* an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. 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.

**No confirmed illnesses have been reported.**
