What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Northwest Wild Products is voluntarily recalling specific canned seafood products, including black cod, salmon, sardines, steelhead, sturgeon, tuna, and razor clams. The recall affects products with codes starting with "OC" found on the top or bottom of the cans. The last date of distribution for these products was September 2015.

The recall is being conducted because the products have the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium that causes botulism. The agency has classified this as a Class II recall. The products were distributed in Oregon and sold to consumers through mail orders. The firm did not keep records regarding who the product was sold to.

Consumers who have these products should stop using them immediately. Because the firm did not retain sales records, consumers should check their pantries for any canned seafood from Northwest Wild Products with codes starting with OC. If found, these items should be discarded or returned to the point of purchase.
