Salmon Sold at BJ's Recalled for Listeria Risk
Slade Gorton & Co. has recalled a lot of Wellsley Farms Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon sold at BJ’s Wholesale Club. The recall was initiated after the FDA identified potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Consumers who purchased the product are advised to check public health guidance.
The recall affects a specific batch of 2-pound bags of Wellsley Farms Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon, identified by lot number 3896 and UPC code 888670025963. This lot was sold at BJ's Wholesale Club stores across seven states: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The contaminated salmon was available for purchase between January 31 and February 7, 2026. The issue came to light not because of consumer illness, but after a random sample collected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration tested positive for the bacteria. As of the recall announcement, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this salmon. Slade Gorton & Co. is currently investigating the origin of the contamination and working to prevent future occurrences. *Listeria monocytogenes* can pose a serious health risk, especially for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of listeriosis can appear up to 70 days after exposure and may include fever, muscle aches, headache, and confusion. BJ's Wholesale Club is actively contacting members who may have purchased the affected product. Consumers who have the recalled salmon are advised not to eat it and can call 1-888-628-0730 for a full refund and disposal instructions.
