Olufela Yemitan is recalling approximately 45 pounds of smoked Siluriformes (catfish) products that were imported from Nigeria and distributed without the benefit of U.S. import inspection. The recall includes 1-lb. plastic-wrapped packages of 'picante fishes' spicy catfish smoked with tomato pepper sauce produced in August 2018. Nigeria is currently not eligible to export these types of fish products to the United States. No adverse reactions have been reported, but consumers should not eat these items.
These products were imported from an ineligible country and bypassed the required U.S. food safety inspections at the point of entry, meaning their safety cannot be guaranteed. Consuming uninspected seafood poses a risk of exposure to unknown foodborne pathogens or contaminants.
You have 2 options:
Ready to eat; imported from Nigeria.
