The FDA reported that Prime Food Processing LLC recalled 69 cases of “Dried Herring Fish” because the product was not adequately eviscerated. 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. The recalled product is Item #AF4110 – Dried Herring Fish - Lot Code: 26020. Expiration: 06.12.28. It is packaged in a clear plastic packaging, 7 oz. (198 g) with Blue Trim. The product was distributed to Asian grocery stores in AZ, CA, FL, HI, IL, KS, LA, MD, MO, NC, NH, NV, NY, OK, PA, TX, UT. The issue was identified during routine testing conducted by the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets. The recall was initiated after the product was selected and sent for regulatory testing. A subsequent investigation determined that the problem originated from an imported product manufactured in Vietnam. No illnesses or adverse reactions associated with the affected product have been reported. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/prime-food-processing-llc-issues-safety-warning-regarding-uneviscerated-dried-herring-fish?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
