Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

TV Food LLC. is recalling approximately 27,956 pounds of various Golden Boy brand frozen Siluriformes (catfish) products. These items, imported from Vietnam, were not presented for required import re-inspection by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The recall includes several varieties such as whole fish, steaks, and cleaned headless fish in vacuum-packed trays. No illnesses have been reported, but consumers are urged to check their freezers for these products and return them for a refund or throw them away.

Risk

The products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and skipped the mandatory US import re-inspection process, which means they have not been verified as safe for human consumption.
