Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

HBH Enterprises is recalling approximately 122,831 units of various ornamental fish foods, including Shrimp Pellets, Goldfish Food, and Oscar Bites. These products were manufactured using shrimp pellets that contained melamine, an industrial chemical that was part of a larger aquaculture product recall. The affected fish foods were distributed across 23 U.S. states and several international locations. Consumers should immediately identify if they have any of the specific products listed and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The fish food contains melamine, which was used in the manufacturing of the shrimp pellet components; ingestion of melamine-contaminated feed can lead to toxic effects in ornamental fish and aquatic life.
