Prime Food Processing LLC. is recalling 79 cases of its Dried Croaker Fish because the fish were found to be uneviscerated (not gutted). The sale of uneviscerated processed fish is prohibited because the internal organs can harbor spores of Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism. The recalled fish was distributed in 8oz packages across 18 states including NY, CA, FL, and WA. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
Uneviscerated fish pose a high risk of botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning that can cause paralysis and respiratory failure. No illnesses have been reported to date.
