FDA’s new Starfish salmon notice names a different product code

Check Starfish Seafood’s 227 g/8 oz premium sliced salmon for lot D080-148, UPC 4751048940099 and best-before date 27.11.2027. FDA’s October 16 posting tells purchasers not to eat it and to return it for a refund. The older seafood-trio warning has different identifiers. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Understand the story.

Check the specific salmon package

The new posting identifies a frozen, vacuum-sealed 227 g/8 oz sliced-salmon package, UPC 4751048940099, lot D080-148, best before 27.11.2027. Use those details and the official package pictures, not the generic photograph here. [1]

Keep the dates separate

FDA lists the public posting date as October 16 while retaining the company’s October 9 announcement date. The earlier trio notice has another lot and expiration date. This is a new package-specific public record, not evidence that the hazard began on October 16. [1] [3]

Do not cancel an earlier warning

The new notice names six distribution states. The separate trio record remains a separate warning with different identifiers; these records do not establish that either recall has ended. [2] [3]

Return a matching product

The company’s notice says not to consume the recalled salmon and to return it for a refund. Its report of no illnesses is dated and does not make a potentially contaminated product safe. The exact FDA notice supplies the consumer contact. [4]

What remains open.

  • No independent lab results or complete retail distribution list obtained; no illness prevalence is inferred.
  • The new posting’s October 16 FDA date and October 9 company date are distinct. The records do not explain whether the newer package notice replaces or supplements any earlier notice; no such relationship is asserted.
  • The archive salmon photograph is generic and cannot identify a recalled package.
  • Rechecked against the current edition. This story’s core development is retained, not new in this update; new receipts and case IDs do not create news.

A corrected original, material new development, changed eligibility, effective date, access rule or product identifier requires a separately identified revision and renewed evidence review.
