If you bought this specific product, do not eat it, even if you plan to cook it first, because of the possibility of cross-contamination. You can throw the salmon away in a sealed container in a secure trash can with a tight fitting lid so others can’t access it, or you can take it back to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
You should then clean out your refrigerator with a mild bleach solution because Listeria bacteria can grow at refrigerator temperatures. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after cleaning and after handling this item.
If you ate this salmon, monitor your health for the symptoms of listeriosis for the next 70 days. If you do feel sick, see your doctor.
