Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. is voluntarily recalling Starfish Seafood Trio, an 8-ounce vacuum-sealed package of cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout, because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The product was distributed in six states; no illnesses have been reported in connection with it to date.
Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. is voluntarily recalling an 8-ounce package of Starfish Seafood Trio—cold-smoked salmon, halibut and trout—because the product may contain Listeria monocytogenes, according to a recall notice reported by Food Safety News on October 10. The fish was distributed in New York, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina; no illnesses have been reported to date.
The affected item is identified as Starfish Seafood Trio – Cold Smoked Salmon, Halibut, Trout, in a vacuum-sealed plastic package with a net weight of 8 ounces (227 grams). The recall notice lists lot number D139149161-153 and an expiration date of December 1, 2027. It gives Latvia as the country of origin. Consumers should compare the product name, package size and lot information with those details rather than assume every Starfish item is affected.
The potential contamination was identified by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, according to the report. Krasnyi Oktyabr initiated the voluntary recall and is cooperating with the state department and the FDA. The company is a wholesale distributor, not the manufacturer of the recalled fish, the report said.
Krasnyi Oktyabr notified affected customers and asked them to stop selling and distributing the recalled product, check for remaining stock and alert their own customers as appropriate. The report does not say how many packages were distributed or whether any were still available for sale when the recall was announced. It also reports no illnesses linked to the product to date.
Checking Packages and Health Risks
The recall concerns a ready-to-eat cold-smoked fish product sold across six states. People who bought it may still have it in a refrigerator or freezer, while retailers and other customers may need to identify remaining stock. The lot number and expiration date offer concrete ways to check whether a package matches the recalled item.
Listeria can cause serious illness, and contaminated food may not look, smell or taste spoiled, according to the recall information. That means appearance or odor cannot establish that a package is safe. People who have eaten the recalled fish should watch for symptoms over the coming weeks; the report says illness can take up to 70 days to develop. Anyone who becomes ill after eating it should seek medical care and tell a clinician about the possible exposure.
The risk of severe illness is higher for pregnant people, older adults, young children and people with weakened immune systems, the report says. Infection during pregnancy can harm the newborn even when the pregnant person has only mild symptoms. The recall is precautionary: no associated illnesses have been reported, but the potential contamination prompted action before any reported case was identified.

How the Recall Was Initiated
The report says the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets identified the potential contamination, after which Krasnyi Oktyabr began the voluntary recall. The company is cooperating with that department and the FDA, according to the notice summarized by Food Safety News.
Krasnyi Oktyabr’s role as a wholesale distributor is relevant to the recall’s path through the supply chain. The company said it notified affected customers and requested that they stop distribution, locate inventory and notify customers where appropriate. The notice identifies the product’s country of origin as Latvia, but does not name the manufacturer.
The recall report was published on October 10, 2026. Its stated distribution area is New York, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina. The available information does not provide store names, dates of sale or a total number of packages. Those details should not be inferred from the states listed.
“The company “is cooperating with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the FDA regarding the recall.””

Distribution and Case Details
The available report does not state how many packages were affected, which retailers or stores carried them, or the exact dates on which they were sold. It also does not identify the manufacturer or describe the test results behind the potential contamination finding. The reported origin is Latvia, but that does not by itself identify where the product was processed or packaged.
No illnesses had been reported in connection with the fish at the time of the report. That status could change as information develops, and the report does not give a count of people who may have bought or eaten the product. The recall notice described a potential contamination; it did not establish that every package was contaminated.
Retailer Checks and Consumer Action
Affected wholesale customers and retailers have been asked to stop distribution, locate remaining inventory and pass on notice to their customers as appropriate. The company is cooperating with New York state agriculture officials and the FDA. The report does not specify a deadline for those checks or announce a further agency update.
Consumers can check packages for the product name, 8-ounce size, lot number D139149161-153 and December 1, 2027 expiration date. Anyone with a matching package should not eat it. The report does not provide specific instructions on refunds or disposal, so consumers can contact the retailer or the company for guidance. Anyone who has eaten the fish should monitor for symptoms during the coming weeks and contact a healthcare provider if symptoms develop, mentioning the possible Listeria exposure.
