The FDA reported that New Hoque & Sons Inc. (Maspeth, NY), recalled its packages of “Dry Ghoinnya Fish” because the product was found to be uneviscerated. The products were distributed nationwide in retail stores. It comes in a 10-12 pound, clear plastic package, marked with an expiration date of 5/19/25 stamped on the bottom. The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory staff revealed the product was not properly eviscerated prior to processing. The sale of uneviscerated fish is prohibited under New York State Agriculture and Markets regulations because Clostridium botulinum spores are more likely to be concentrated in the viscera than any other portion of the fish. Uneviscerated fish have been linked to outbreaks of botulism poisoning. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/new-hoque-sons-inc-issues-alert-uneviscerated-dry-ghoinnya-fish
