Because the fish was not properly eviscerated, it may have retained internal organs that can harbor harmful bacteria or toxins. As a result, the dried croaker fish poses a potential health risk to consumers.
The FDA notes that the issue was identified during routine testing conducted by the New York Department of Agriculture. The recall was then initiated after the product was selected and sent for regulatory testing.
Another investigation then determined that the problem originated from an imported product manufactured in Vietnam.
To date, no illnesses or adverse reactions associated with the recalled product have been reported.
It is important to note that the affected product is marketed as Item#AF1410 with an expiration date of December 28, 2027.
According to the FDA, the Dried Croaker Fish was distributed to Asian grocery stores in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
Moving forward, consumers who purchased the recalled product should return it to the place of purchase with the uneaten fish and packaging for a full refund.
