Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. is voluntarily recalling Starfish Seafood Trio cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout after the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets identified potential Listeria contamination. The 8-ounce product was distributed in six states; no illnesses had been reported as of the October 10 recall report.
Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. is voluntarily recalling an 8-ounce Starfish Seafood Trio of cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to a recall notice reported by Food Safety News on October 10. The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets identified the potential contamination; no illnesses had been reported in connection with the product at the time of the report.
The recall applies to the Starfish-branded, vacuum-sealed plastic package containing 8 ounces (227 grams) of cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout. The affected package is marked with lot number D139149161-153 and an expiration date of December 1, 2027. The product’s country of origin is listed as Latvia.
The product was distributed in New York, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina. The recall notice does not provide a number of packages or stores involved, and does not identify individual retailers. Consumers should compare the brand, product name, package size, lot number and expiration date with the information on the recalled item.
Krasnyi Oktyabr is a wholesale distributor, not the product’s manufacturer, according to the notice. The company said it notified affected customers and asked them to stop selling and distributing the product, locate any remaining inventory and notify their customers as appropriate. The company is cooperating with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Risks for Consumers and Retailers
Listeria contamination can pose a serious health risk even when food appears normal. The recall notice warns that contaminated food may look, smell and taste unspoiled, so appearance alone cannot establish whether a package is safe. People who have the identified product should use the lot details to determine whether it is covered by the recall and should not rely on a sensory check.
Listeriosis can be severe, particularly for pregnant people, older adults, young children and people with weakened immune systems. Infection during pregnancy can cause serious outcomes for the newborn, including premature delivery or stillbirth, even if the pregnant person has only mild symptoms. The recall therefore matters both to consumers who may have bought the fish and to retailers responsible for removing affected stock and alerting customers.
The source reports no illnesses to date; that is the status stated in the notice, not proof that the product was safe or that later cases are impossible. Anyone who ate the recalled fish and develops symptoms should seek medical care and tell a clinician about the possible exposure.

How the Recall Was Triggered
The recall followed identification of potential contamination by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. The available notice does not say when the agency detected the issue, describe the test or inspection that led to the finding, or report whether contamination was confirmed in a particular package. It states that the identification prompted Krasnyi Oktyabr to begin a voluntary recall.
The company’s role as distributor is relevant to the response: it says it contacted its wholesale customers and requested that they halt sales and distribution, check inventory and pass on notice to their customers as appropriate. The company is working with the state agency and the FDA. The notice identifies the affected lot and sales states, but offers no broader history of the product or prior related recalls.
“The company is cooperating with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the FDA regarding the recall.”

What the Notice Does Not Say
The available report does not state how many packages were distributed, which specific stores sold them, or whether any units remain on shelves. It also does not describe the testing results in detail or say whether Listeria was confirmed in the product itself. The notice identifies a potential contamination risk, so the basis and scope of the finding remain unclear from the information provided.
No illnesses had been reported at the time of the notice, but the report does not say whether the investigation has ended or whether further cases or affected products could be identified. Consumers seeking product-specific guidance may need to check with retailers or the companies involved; the provided source does not list a consumer phone number, refund process or return instructions.
Recall Checks and Health Monitoring
Retailers and wholesale customers have been asked to stop selling and distributing the affected lot, find any remaining inventory and inform customers as appropriate. The company’s notice says it is cooperating with state and federal authorities, but it does not give a timeline for the investigation or say when further updates will be issued.
Consumers should check whether their package matches the recall identifiers: Starfish Seafood Trio, 8 ounces (227 grams), lot D139149161-153 and expiration date December 1, 2027. If it matches, do not eat it; follow instructions from the retailer or company about safe disposal or return, since the available report does not specify a refund process. Anyone who has eaten the product should monitor for symptoms during the coming weeks. The notice says symptoms can take up to 70 days to develop. People who become ill should seek medical care and mention the possible Listeria exposure.
