26 tons of fish products recalled from the US market

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said the frozen Basa fillet items were imported from Vietnam to the United States on various dates from Aug. 1, 2018 to Feb. 15, 2019.

The items were shipped to wholesale and retail locations in Texas. Upon arrival at retail locations, the Basa fillets may have been removed from boxes and placed in the seafood display case for consumer purchase.

The problem was discovered when an FSIS investigator conducted an inquiry to determine if McAllen Cold Storage received imported Pangasius frozen Basa fillet products originating from the country of Vietnam.
