Delta's Best Basa and Sea Queen Swai Fillets Recalled for Import Violations

Agency Publication Date: June 25, 2016

Summary

U.S. Cado Holdings, Inc. is recalling approximately 27,995 pounds of frozen, skinless, and boneless Swai fillets sold under the Delta's Best Basa and Sea Queen brands. These fish products, imported from Vietnam, were distributed in the United States without meeting federal requirements for residue sampling and testing. The recall expansion includes 15-pound bulk boxes and 2-pound retail packages sold in several states.

Risk

These products failed to comply with federal requirements concerning residue sampling and testing prior to being sold. While no illnesses have been reported, the lack of proper testing means the safety and wholeness of the fish cannot be guaranteed.
