UPDATED: 05/04/22
The UKHSA, Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland are investigating an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes linked to smoked fish.
This contamination could be particularly unsafe to people who are vulnerable to Listeria infection – including people who are pregnant and people with certain underlying conditions or who are taking medications which can weaken the immune system. Given the ongoing outbreak, as a precaution, information for people who are pregnant has been updated to advise that they thoroughly cook smoked fish before eating it.
If you have any concerns, please speak to your GP, midwife or hospital team. For further information, please visit the information page on the Food Standards Scotland website: Ongoing Listeria outbreak linked to smoked fish | Food Standards Scotland
