P East Trading Corp is recalling 81 cases of Salted Smoked Split Herring because the fish may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum. The fish are approximately 12 inches long and were sold in 18-pound wooden boxes or repacked at deli counters into smaller retail packaging. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date in connection with this product.
The recalled fish were found to be uneviscerated (not properly gutted), which allows for the growth of bacteria that produce the life-threatening botulinum toxin. Consuming this toxin can cause botulism, a severe form of food poisoning that can lead to paralysis, respiratory failure, and death.
