Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Premium Foods USA, Inc. is recalling approximately 121,151 pounds of various frozen fish products imported from Bangladesh and Myanmar. These fish, known as Siluriformes, were not presented for required import re-inspection and came from countries ineligible to export these specific products to the United States. No illnesses or adverse reactions have been confirmed to date, but consumers are urged to check their freezers for these items, which were sold in several states including New York, New Jersey, and Florida.

Risk

These products were imported without the benefit of federal inspection and from ineligible sources, meaning their safety cannot be verified. Consuming uninspected food products poses a risk of foodborne illness or exposure to contaminants that would normally be screened during the inspection process.

  1. Identify the affected products by looking for brands like 'Shahjalal' or various fish types such as Rita, Bujuri, Ayre, Wallago, Boal, Pangash, Batashi, Bacha, Gulsha, Kajoli, Pabda, Shing, and Magur. Check the packaging for establishment number EST. 1377.
  2. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes, including various UPC numbers and specific weight sizes ranging from 8.8 oz (250g) to 17.625 oz (500g).
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Premium Foods USA, Inc. at info@premiumfoods.us for further instructions.
