Listeria Alert: Smoked Salmon Products Recalled in Spain Across Major Retailers

Spanish food safety authorities have issued a national health alert after detecting the harmful bacterium Listeria monocytogenes in a specific batch of Norwegian smoked salmon sold in supermarkets across the country.

The Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición (AESAN) confirmed that the alert relates to batch number 361214 of Salmón noruego ahumado, a refrigerated product typically sold in 80‑gram plastic blister packs under the Skandia brand.

The alert was issued on March 31, 2026, following a notification from the authorities in Andalucía via the Sistema SCIRI (Coordinated Rapid Information Exchange System), Spain’s rapid information exchange system for food safety.

AESAN has communicated the details to regional health authorities across the country to ensure that the affected products are removed from sale.

Consumers who already have the affected product at home are strongly advised not to eat it.

The product is sold refrigerated and has a use-by date of 13 April 2026.

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a food‑borne illness that can be serious, especially for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and anyone with a weaker immune system.
