SuperValu and Centra are recalling several smoked salmon and prawn cocktail products because they contain Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria can cause flu-like symptoms, so shoppers should check the listed products.
What happened
SuperValu and Centra are recalling salmon and prawn cocktail products in Northern Ireland because Listeria monocytogenes has been found in them. The Food Standards Agency published the notice on 21 October 2026. The retailers will display point-of-sale notices in all stores selling the products.
Affected products
SuperValu Signature Taste Applewood Smoked Salmon 100g; SuperValu Signature Taste Prawn Cocktail 180g; SuperValu BBQ Smoked Salmon 100g; SuperValu Prawn Cocktail 180g; SuperValu Smoked Salmon 100g; Centra BBQ Salmon 100g; Centra Smoked Salmon 100g; Inspired by Centra Applewood Smoked Salmon 80g; Inspired by Centra Atlantic Prawn Cocktail 180g. All use-by dates are covered. No batch codes are given.
The risk
Listeria monocytogenes. Symptoms can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick, and diarrhoea. In rare cases the infection can be more severe, for example meningitis. People over 65, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies under one month old, and people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable.
What to do
Do not eat these products. Return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

- ✓Bin every matching pack without eating it, even if the use-by date looks fine. No batch codes have been published, so every pack of a listed product is affected.
