>Costco's fish supplier has recalled thousands of smoked salmon packages over fears of listeria contamination, its third recall in days. The bulk-buy store said packs of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon sold October 9 to October 13 were affected and should be returned for a refund. Potentially contaminated items have lot number 8512801270 printed on the top right corner of the packaging and should not be eaten, Costco wrote in a letter.

Smoked salmon is ready to eat. You could cook it, but that would destroy the texture and flavor. Issue is it's a minimally prepared (lightly smoked/not cooked) product, and is easily effected by bad handling or practices. I buy fresh hot-smoked salmon once a year in December from an outfit in Door County, WI. Eat half around Christmas and freeze the rest for later use. It's freshly smoked so has decent shipping life, it's cold out when they ship it and it comes in big hunks so there's not a lot of surface area subject to decomposition/contamination. Contrast the above with that thinly sliced product Costco sells. Lots of processing to slice it thinly, and lots of surface area for shit to grow on.

If you want to go with a "rarer"/soft textured smoked salmon, buy a whole Scottish smoked salmon and shave slices yourself. Increased processing in our food supply can now literally be equated with increased risk of death. I love a good smoked salmon as much as - or more than - the next guy, but these days you REALLY have to look at what you're buying because there's so much going wrong with our food supply.

And don't get me started again on the toxic farm fisheries in Norway that crank out "premium" Norwegian smoked salmon. I will never touch it again - not even with an eleven foot pole...

EDIT: The pics in the article are CLEARLY labeled "NORWEGIAN". That shit is toxic as hell to begin with. Norway requires posting of advisory notices in fish markets selling domestic farmed salmon advising of high levels of chemicals and antibiotics, and cautions pregnant women and small children to drastically limit intake. And then it gets processed and shipped to the US as a "premium" product.

NEVER BUY THIS SHIT!
