The FDA and Seven Seas International USA, LLC are recalling Giant Food Private Label Sockeye Smoked Salmon.  This fish is contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.  This bacterium causes serious and sometimes life-threatening infections in the very young, in older frail persons,  and in those with weakened immune systems.  It can also trigger miscarriages and stillbirths.  About 540 cases of the salmon were sold at Giant Food stores in Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Delaware.  The affected lot # is R4132.  If you purchased this tainted salmon, return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.  If you require more information about this recall, phone Seven Seas International at 1–888-627-5668.
