Lakes Farm Raised Catfish Inc. is recalling approximately 1,695 pounds of frozen raw catfish products including fillets, nuggets, steaks, and whole fish. The recall was initiated after routine sampling found residues of Malachite Green and Leucomalachite Green, which are chemicals of public health concern. These products were shipped to institutional and retail locations in Mississippi and Tennessee between March 14 and March 17, 2017. No adverse reactions have been confirmed to date, but consumers should return or discard these items immediately.
The fish may be contaminated with violative levels of Malachite Green and Leucomalachite Green, which are industrial dyes and antifungal agents not approved for use in food-producing animals due to potential health risks.
