MONTREAL -- Smoked mackerel sold at a store in the LaSalle borough of Montreal was not safely packaged in store and should not be consumed, food safety authorities announced Wednesday.
The refrigerated product was sold until July 29, 2020, by Boulangerie & Pâtisserie Vova at 3055 LaSalle Blvd.
It was packaged at the store in a transparent vacuum bag labelled “ADAR - Whole Smoked Mackerel”. (See photo above).
Boulangerie & Pâtisserie Vova is voluntarily recalling the product, which food safety authorities say should not be eaten, even if it smells and looks fine.
The product should be returned to Boulangerie & Pâtisserie Vova or thrown out.
While no illnesses have been reported among people who have consumed the product, it could still present a health risk, food safety officials said.
