Nautilus Seafood Yellow Walking Fish Recalled for Missing Import Inspection

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

J Deluca Fish Company Inc. (doing business as Nautilus Seafood) is recalling approximately 69,590 pounds of frozen yellow walking fish products because they were imported from an ineligible establishment in Vietnam and skipped the required U.S. import re-inspection. The recall includes various packages of headless-cleaned and whole yellow walking fish shipped to distributors and retail stores nationwide. Consumers who have these products in their freezers should not eat them and instead return them to the store for a full refund or throw them away.

Risk

These products were produced at a facility in Vietnam that was not authorized to export this type of fish to the United States and were not presented for mandatory safety inspections upon arrival. Consuming uninspected seafood from ineligible sources poses an unknown risk to human health as the safety standards at the point of origin cannot be verified.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for Nautilus brand packages of 'HEADLESS-CLEANED YELLOW WALKING FISH' (Clarias Macrocepphalus) or 'WHOLE YELLOW WALKING FISH' (Clarias Macrocepphalus).
  2. Look for Best Before dates of 20191230 for the headless-cleaned fish or 20191228 for the whole fish products.
  3. Identify the product by the Vietnamese text on the label: 'CÁ TRÊ VÀNG LÀM SẠCH - CẮT ĐẦU' (headless) or 'CÁ TRÊ VÀNG NGUYÊN CON' (whole).
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer at 310-901-4596 for further instructions.
  5. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 if you have additional questions.
