A Class 1 recall signifies the highest risk level, meaning the use of the recalled product could lead to serious health consequences or even death.
The recall was initiated by Acme Smoked Fish Corporation, the manufacturer of the ready-to-eat salmon, after laboratory testing detected contamination with Listeria, a bacteria that can cause illness.

Symptoms of infection can range from high fever, severe headache, and stiffness to nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
