Agency Publication Date: May 14, 2021

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 165 pounds of frozen whole Siluriformes (Cascudo) fish are being recalled because they were imported from Brazil, a country not eligible to export these types of raw fish products to the United States. The affected products were imported by EB Express Provisions Inc. and sold individually by weight in plastic bags at Mass. Mineirao Markets. Because the product was sold from bulk cases, it does not bear a USDA mark of inspection and may still be in consumers' freezers.

Risk

The product was imported from a source that has not been vetted or approved by the USDA for exporting raw Siluriformes fish to the U.S., meaning it bypassed mandatory safety and inspection protocols designed to protect public health.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for whole frozen fish sold in plastic bags that may have been purchased from Mass. Mineirao Markets in Massachusetts.
  2. Identify the product by looking for cases or labels that mention 'GUTTED FROZEN FISH SCIENTIFIC NAME: Hypostomus' or 'Cascudo' with a production date of 23/04/2021 and establishment number 'S.I.F. 188'.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact EB Express Provisions Inc. for further instructions.
  4. If you have questions for the importer, contact Nelson Araujo of EB Express Provisions Inc. at 973-868-5381 or via email at eb21araujo@gmail.com.
  5. If you have health concerns or believe you have become ill from consuming this product, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
  6. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
