Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. is voluntarily recalling an 8-ounce package of Starfish Seafood Trio cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout after the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets identified potential Listeria contamination. The product was distributed in six states, and no illnesses have been reported to date. Consumers should check the package details and avoid eating the recalled product.
Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. is voluntarily recalling Starfish Seafood Trio, an 8-ounce package of cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout, because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to a recall notice reported by Food Safety News on October 10. The product was distributed in New York, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina; no illnesses had been reported in connection with it at the time of the notice.
The recall covers product sold under the Starfish brand in a vacuum-sealed plastic package weighing 8 ounces (227 grams). The package identifies the lot as D139149161-153, gives an expiration date of December 1, 2027, and lists Latvia as the country of origin. Consumers can use those details to check whether a package they have is affected.
The potential contamination was identified by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. In response, Krasnyi Oktyabr initiated a voluntary recall and said it is cooperating with the state department and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The company is a wholesale distributor and did not manufacture the product, according to the recall information.
Krasnyi Oktyabr said it notified affected customers and asked them to stop selling and distributing the product immediately, identify any remaining stock and notify their customers as appropriate. The available source material does not identify how many packages were distributed or how many stores or customers received them.
Risk for Consumers and Retailers
The recall concerns a ready-to-eat, cold-smoked fish product that may be eaten without further cooking. Listeria can cause serious illness, and contaminated food may look, smell and taste normal. Consumers should not rely on appearance or odor to judge whether a package is safe.
The risk of severe illness is higher for pregnant people, older adults, young children and people with weakened immune systems, including some cancer patients. Listeria infection during pregnancy can have serious consequences for the newborn, even when the pregnant person has only mild, flu-like symptoms. The reported absence of illnesses is the status as of the recall notice; it does not establish that every package is uncontaminated or that future reports are impossible.
Retailers and other customers who received the product have been asked to halt its sale and distribution and check inventory. For consumers, matching the brand, product name, package size and lot number is more reliable than assuming all Starfish products, or all cold-smoked fish, are included.

How the Recall Was Started
The development followed the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets’ identification of potential Listeria contamination. The agency finding prompted the distributor to begin a voluntary recall. The source material does not provide further details about the testing, such as where the sample came from, when it was collected or the laboratory result.
The notice describes a recall of one specifically identified product: Starfish Seafood Trio – Cold Smoked Salmon, Halibut, Trout. It lists distribution in six states and identifies Latvia as the product’s country of origin. The notice names Krasnyi Oktyabr as the distributor, not the manufacturer, and says the company is working with state and federal authorities.
Food Safety News published its report at 9:11 p.m. on October 10, 2026. Its account says no illnesses had been reported at that point. That is a time-specific update, rather than a guarantee about later developments.
“The company is cooperating with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the FDA regarding the recall.”

Scope and Investigation Details
The available information does not say how many packages were recalled, how widely they were distributed within the six states or whether any affected packages remain for sale. It also does not specify when the state agency identified the potential contamination, what testing found or whether the FDA has announced additional actions.
No illnesses had been reported in the source account as of October 10. Listeria symptoms can take time to appear, however, and the notice says illness may develop as long as 70 days after exposure. The information provided does not say whether later complaints or test results have changed the status.
The recall applies to the product and lot details listed in the notice. There is no information in the source material indicating that other Starfish products or other cold-smoked fish products are included.
Consumer Checks and Agency Follow-Up
Consumers should check the product name, 8-ounce package size and lot number D139149161-153. Anyone with a matching package should not eat it. The recall notice directs businesses to stop distribution and remove remaining inventory; it does not specify a consumer refund process or instructions for returning or disposing of the product.
Anyone who ate the recalled fish should monitor for symptoms in the weeks after exposure. The notice lists vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness among possible symptoms. People who become ill should seek medical care and tell their clinician about possible Listeria exposure. A clinician can determine whether testing is appropriate; Listeria infection requires specific laboratory tests and may resemble other illnesses.
Krasnyi Oktyabr said it was cooperating with state and federal authorities. Further information could clarify the investigation, the distribution scope or any updated illness reports, but the source material does not give a schedule for additional announcements.
