The FDA reported that KRASNIY OKTYABR INC. USA (BROOKLYN, NY) is recalling its “ARAL SILVER VOBLA” brand “ARAL”, because the product was found to be uneviscerated. The fish were distributed nationwide through retail stores. The product comes in a clear plastic vacuum packaged bag with a blue label, containing two whole fish inside marked “Product of Kazakhstan”. The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets food inspectors and subsequent analysis by NYS Food Laboratory revealed the product was not properly eviscerated prior to processing. The sale of uneviscerated fish is prohibited because Clostridium botulinum spores are more likely to be concentrated in the viscera than in any other portion of the fish. No illness has been reported to date in connection with this problem. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/krasniy-oktyabr-inc-usa-issues-alert-eviscerate-dry-salted-vobla-aral-silver?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
