What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA Brooklyn wholesale company is recalling smoked seafood over possible listeria contamination, and Lola Cruz is at the scene. Lola, what can you see?

  2. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm standing outside a loading dock in Brooklyn, and it is very quiet behind me.

  3. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe refrigerated trucks are parked, the doors are shut, and nobody is talking.

  4. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe company is a wholesale distributor, and the recall covers its smoked seafood over the possibility of listeria.

  5. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentListeria is a bacteria that can make people seriously sick, so the advice is simple: check your fridge and throw it out.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHas anyone from the company come out to speak?

  7. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentOne man in a hairnet opened the door about ten minutes ago, looked at my microphone, and closed it again.

  8. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI have been stonewalled by warlords with better manners.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA hairnet.

  10. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentA very firm one.

  11. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentAnd 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.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the gull is a person of interest in a fish recall.

  13. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, it is eyeing the evidence. I have seen that look in three countries.

  14. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentIf you bought smoked seafood from a Brooklyn wholesaler this week, do not eat it, and call the company about the recall.

  15. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola, did you try any of the product yourself?

  16. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I have one rule for food in a danger zone: if I can't say who handled it, I don't eat it.

  17. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThat rule has kept me alive for twenty years.
