Food safety recall round-up April 20-28 2016
Clostridium botulinum potential in fish
USA: Krasnyi Oktyabr Inc. is recalling Vobla (Roach) Dry Eviscerated Salted Fish and Bream Dry Eviscerated Salted Fish because it could be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum.
Products were imported from Russia and sold to retail stores in New York and California from February through April. They are sold in un-coded clear, vacuum pack plastic bags, each weighing 5.29 ounces.
The potential for contamination came after routine sampling and inspection by the Food and Drug Administration and subsequent analysis of the Bream fish confirmed it was not properly eviscerated prior to processing.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
