JFC International Recalls Saki Ika Cuttlefish Due to Mold Contamination

JFC International is recalling specific lots of WelPac Saki Ika Cuttlefish because of mold. Consumers should check their products and stop using them if they match the listed codes.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which typically corresponds to a score of 1 or 2. Given the presence of mold, a low-risk contamination, a score of 2 (Moderate) is appropriate as it is a voluntary precautionary recall without reported illnesses.
