A new study from the University of Washington published in the Journal Global Change Biology (March 19, 2020, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/gcb.15048), found a 283 fold increase from 1970 to 2015, in the presence of a worm that can be transmitted to humans who eat raw or undercooked seafood (Anisakis spp. or “herring worm). When people eat live herring worms, the parasite can invade the intestinal wall and cause symptoms that mimic food poisoning. In most cases, the worm dies after a few days, and the symptoms disappear because the worms can’t reproduce or live for more than a few days in a human’s intestine. However, they can persist and replicate in fish and other marine mammals. The worms reproduce in the guts of these animals and are released into the ocean via the marine mammals’ feces, then infecting more animals.

The FDA has determined that salt-cured, dried, or fermented un-eviscerated fish larger than 5 inches have been linked to outbreaks of botulism poisoning in humans between 1981 and 1987 and again in 1991. As a result, IcelandicPlus LLC of Ft. Washington, PA, recalled its Capelin Pet Treats because some of the fish have exceeded the FDA compliance guideline for fish larger than 5 inches. To date, there have been no reported illnesses of dogs, cats, or persons in connection with Capelin. Nor has there been any positive test result for Clostridium botulinum from any IcelandicPlus Capelin. This product would be found in Independent Pet Specialty Stores within all States in the United States. The company is changing its supplier to ensure that the products are consistently less than 5 inches, or if larger, they will be completely eviscerated. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/icelandicplus-llc-voluntarily-recalls-whole-capelin-fish-pet-treats-because-product-exceeds-fda-size?utm_campaign=IcelandicPlus%20LLC%20Voluntarily%20Recalls%20Whole%20Capelin%20Fish%20Pet%20Treats&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua
