A batch of smoked salmon sold in the fresh section may display a misleading use-by date, according to the public RappelConso site. The alert targets a refrigerated seafood product sold in Magasins U in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Grand Est regions, with an error on the printed date. The challenge is simple: to prevent a very perishable fish from remaining in the refrigerator for several months beyond its true safety limit.
This reminder concerns BROKEN SMOKED SALMON U 150gmarketed by Coopérative U – Enseigne U. According to official sheet no. 2026-05-0148 published on RappelConso, the actual consumption expiration date for this lot is set at 03/06/2026, but the DLC was printed on 03/10/2026. This labeling error can encourage people to keep the package for too long for smoked salmon, a fragile food that must remain perfectly controlled.
Why broken smoked salmon U 150g is recalled
For this U brand product, this is not a proven contamination but a labeling anomaly. Cooperative U has launched a voluntary recall, without a prefectural order, for lot 10625671 006 identified by the GTIN barcode 3256220829908. The RappelConso website describes a risk of health deterioration of the product if broken smoked salmon is consumed after 06/03/2026, their real expiration date.
The DLC concerns very perishable foods, such as fresh or smoked fish: once this date has passed, safety is no longer guaranteed. With smoked salmon stored in the refrigerator, exceeding the shelf life means that the microbiological quality is no longer assured.
How to recognize the affected package of U smoked salmon
Only certain packages of BROKEN SMOKED SALMON U 150g are concerned. The recall targets the packaging in 150 g packages to be stored in the refrigerator, bearing the health mark FR 29.232.500 CE. These products were sold in U Stores located in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and in the Grand Est, according to information communicated on RappelConso.

To check your fridge, take out your packets of U smoked salmon chips and turn them over. On the back are the barcode GTIN 3256220829908, batch number 10625671 006 and expiration date. If the printed date shows 03/10/2026 on a package corresponding to this lot, consider that the real DLC is 03/06/2026 and treat it as expired after this deadline.
What to do with these recalled U smoked salmon chips
The instructions given by RappelConso and Magasins U are clear: no longer consume the broken pieces concerned, return them to the point of sale and contact the store in case of doubt. A refund is planned for customers, and the U consumer service can be reached at 09 69 36 69 36 for any questions related to this recall.
The recall procedure is announced until June 3, 2026, but a package forgotten at the bottom of the refrigerator will remain at risk beyond this date if the actual shelf life has passed. If you still see this product on the shelves, you can report it on the SignalConso public service. In the event of consumption after 06/03/2026 accompanied by symptoms, rapid medical advice provides appropriate follow-up.
