Smoked salmon and refrigerated smoked seafood

Cold-smoked or refrigerated ready-to-eat seafood needs a more careful check than fish cooked until hot.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Check how the fish was processed, stored and whether local guidance recommends cooking it. A cooked dish that is hot throughout is easier to assess than a chilled ready-to-eat product.

What changes the answer

  • Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
  • How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
  • The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
