Hank LedgerA Brooklyn wholesale company is recalling smoked seafood over possible listeria contamination, and Lola Cruz is at the scene. Lola, what can you see?
Lola CruzHank, I'm standing outside a loading dock in Brooklyn, and it is very quiet behind me.
Lola CruzThe refrigerated trucks are parked, the doors are shut, and nobody is talking.
Lola CruzThe company is a wholesale distributor, and the recall covers its smoked seafood over the possibility of listeria.
Lola CruzListeria is a bacteria that can make people seriously sick, so the advice is simple: check your fridge and throw it out.
Hank LedgerHas anyone from the company come out to speak?
Lola CruzOne man in a hairnet opened the door about ten minutes ago, looked at my microphone, and closed it again.
Lola CruzI have been stonewalled by warlords with better manners.
Hank LedgerA hairnet.
Lola CruzA very firm one.
Lola CruzAnd there is a seagull on the dumpster that has been watching me since I arrived, and I am not ruling it out as a witness.
Hank LedgerSo the gull is a person of interest in a fish recall.
Lola CruzHank, it is eyeing the evidence. I have seen that look in three countries.
Lola CruzIf you bought smoked seafood from a Brooklyn wholesaler this week, do not eat it, and call the company about the recall.
Hank LedgerLola, did you try any of the product yourself?
Lola CruzHank, I have one rule for food in a danger zone: if I can't say who handled it, I don't eat it.
Lola CruzThat rule has kept me alive for twenty years.
