Christmas Favorite Smoked Fish Linked To Listeria Outbreak Risk

The UK’s Food Standards Agency warns of a listeria risk in cold-smoked fish like smoked salmon and trout, popular during Christmas feasts. While the general population faces low risk, pregnant women, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are vulnerable. To stay safe, thoroughly cook cold-smoked fish and follow storage guidelines. The FSA also advises avoiding expired foods.
