Ossie’s Schmaltz Herring recalled for listeria risk

Is there anything better than herring and dill aquavit (why do you think the kid is named Sorenne, and prefers smoked salmon, olives, brie, cold cuts and pickles)?

But there is that listeria risk.

Ms Fish Corp of New York is recalling Ossie’s Schmaltz Herring due to Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The problem was discovered after routine sampling by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis of the product by Food Laboratory personnel found the product to be positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

Ossie’s Schmaltz Herring is packed in a 12 oz plastic container coded 2/0311. It is a product of USA. Product was distributed throughout New York State.
