(Silver Spring, MD) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced yesterday that a recall has been initiated for frozen salmon sold at BJ’s Wholesale Club in seven states, one of which is Pennsylvania. A sample of the salmon, which was randomly collected by the FDA, tested positive for Listeria, a rare but potentially fatal cause of foodborne illness. No infections have been reported to date.
The recall affects bags of frozen salmon that are produced by Slade Gorton & Co., Inc. that can be identified with the following:
- Product name: Wellsley Farms Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon
- Size: 2 lbs
- UPC: 888670025963
- Lot number: 3896
This product was sold from January 31st to February 7th, 2026, in BJ’s Wholesale Club locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Check your freezer for this salmon and do not eat it if you have it. Call 1-888-628-0730 for instructions on how to obtain a full refund for the product and what to do with the remaining product.
Contact a healthcare provider if you develop symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea if you think you consumed contaminated salmon.
