Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

H & T Seafood, Inc. is recalling approximately 71,435 pounds of imported frozen sheat fish products because they were not presented for required safety re-inspection when entering the United States. The recall includes 14-ounce vacuum-sealed packages of Pineapple Brand Frozen Sheat Fish and Traman Co. Individually Quick Frozen Wild Caught Silver Sheat Fish imported from Vietnam. These products have a two-year shelf life and were sold at retail locations in California, Nevada, and Texas.

Risk

  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact H & T Seafood, Inc. executive vice president Roger Kratz at (213) 309-7192 for further instructions.
