North Fish USA Recalls Salted Mackerel Due to Sanitary Violations
North Fish USA is recalling vacuum-packaged salted mackerel because Florida inspectors found the products were not produced under an adequate HACCP plan and were held in unsanitary conditions.
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 II, which typically indicates a remote probability of serious adverse health consequences. The source text cites sanitary violations and inadequate HACCP plans but does not report specific illnesses or injuries, aligning with a moderate severity rating for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures.
Plain-English summary
North Fish USA is recalling 160 pieces of vacuum-packaged salted mackerel. The product was manufactured in Pembroke Pines, Florida, and distributed nationwide to Florida, Pennsylvania, and New York.
The recall was initiated after the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services found during an inspection that the hot and cold smoked, vacuum-packaged seafood were not produced under an adequate HACCP plan and were held in unsanitary conditions. The Florida Department requested the recall of all vacuum-packaged seafood products.
