This is a severe issue at the heart of Kroger's most recent recall of fish products. Here are reports of the primary reasons for a recall.

Potential: Listeria Monocytogenes

Why is it recalled? The presence of Listeria (a nasty bacteria that can make you disgustingly ill, including pregnant women with their unborn children) contaminates all aspects of the supply chain, from processing to packaging.

Allergen Labeling Errors:

Correct labeling is an obvious requirement for people with food allergies. Some products also have undeclared allergens, like shellfish or other seafood, which are linked to health problems for allergic folk.

Quality Control Failures:

They also offered insights into how quality control failures during processing and packaging have contributed to recalls. Poor product handling or storage conditions and cross-contamination with non-fish products can be among other causes.

Although one pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes, is of the utmost concern, it can potentially cause listeriosis. This life-threatening infection can lead to serious health complications: fever, muscle aches, diarrhea, and listeriosis symptoms.

This can lead to headache, confusion, or, in some severe cases, a possible seizure. The elderly, pregnant women, and people with chronic illnesses or weakened immune systems are more prone to severe complications.
