We are taking the precautionary measure of recalling Fresh Scottish Salmon sold from the Fresh Fish Counter and Pre-Packed Chiller cabinet. This is due to a potential risk of a white spirit taint, giving an unpleasant taste to a small quantity of Fresh Scottish Salmon products.

If you have purchased one of the affected products, please do not eat it and return it to the store from which it was bought where you will receive a full refund.

All our fresh salmon is delivered daily and no other date codes are affected.

NO OTHER MORRISONS PRODUCTS ARE AFFECTED

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standards of product safety and quality.
