Haring Catfish, Inc. is recalling approximately 21,521 pounds of various catfish products, including tails, steaks, filets, whole fish, strips, and nuggets. These items, produced on June 28 and 29, 2016, may contain residues of gentian (crystal) violet, a chemical of public health concern that is not permitted in food fish. The affected products were sold in 11-lb, 15-lb, and 30-lb cardboard boxes under the Haring Catfish label and distributed to retail locations, hotels, and restaurants in six states.
The products were found to contain violative levels of gentian (crystal) violet, which is an unapproved chemical residue in Siluriformes fish. While no illnesses have been reported, consuming products with this adulteration poses a potential long-term health risk.
