Seoul Shik Poom, Inc. is recalling 412 cases of frozen oysters because the shippers were delisted from the FDA's International Certification System.

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 involves a low probability of serious adverse health consequences. The hazard is related to regulatory compliance (shipper certification) rather than a confirmed biological or chemical contamination.
