What Happened
Prime Food Processing LLC of Brooklyn, NY, has initiated a voluntary recall of its Dried Croaker Fish products. The recall was issued because the fish were found to be uneviscerated. This is a Class I recall, which is the most serious classification assigned by the FDA.

What You Should Do
Consumers who have purchased the affected Dried Croaker Fish should not consume the product. Although the packaging states the product must be thoroughly cleaned and cooked before consumption, the uneviscerated nature of the fish poses a specific safety risk. The recalling firm, Prime Food Processing LLC, located at 300 Vandervoort Ave, Brooklyn, NY, has initiated notification via multiple channels including email, fax, and telephone.
Why This Matters
Uneviscerated fish are prohibited in commerce because they can harbor dangerous spores, such as Clostridium botulinum, which can lead to life-threatening illness. This Class I recall indicates a high level of severity regarding potential health impacts.
