Rancho Dominguez, California, U.S.A.-based seafood wholesaler Santa Monica Seafood has voluntarily recalled its Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing product because it may contain undeclared soy.
The 16-ounce value-added salmon was distributed to Aldi grocery stores in the U.S. states of California, Nevada, and Arizona, but no illnesses have been reported to date, according to the distributor and processor.
The Aldi brand package labels have a “Use or Freeze By” date of 2 June 2025.
Santa Monica Seafood said it identified the problem during a routine inspection of label proofs from a completed production batch and that no illnesses have been reported thus far.
Elsewhere, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory about frozen, raw, half-shell oysters from South Korea due to a norovirus illness outbreak.
On 15 May, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) notified the FDA of an outbreak of norovirus illnesses associated with consumption of certain oysters from the Republic of Korea (ROK) with Lot Code B250130, harvested from Designated Area No. 1 in the ROK on 30 January 2025, and processed by JBR KR-15-SP in Tongyeong-si, the FDA said.
The importer – Compton, California, U.S.A.-based seafood wholesaler Khee Trading – recalled the oysters on 19 May. They were shipped to distributors in the U.S. states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Washington and may have been distributed to other states as well.
Similarly, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.-based importer Ocean Group Inc. recalled frozen half-shell oysters from South Korea on 22 May. The recall notice cited the same harvest date and lot code.
The FDA is advising consumers not to eat the impacted products and restaurants and food retailers not to serve or sell them and, instead, dispose of them properly. The FDA and the CDPH did not provide specific details on the norovirus illness cases stemming from the oysters.
