Kodiak Wild Alaska Seafood Recalls Pacific Cod Fillets for Permit Violations

Kodiak Wild Alaska Seafood is recalling 25 lb vacuum-packed Pacific Cod fillets because the firm distributed frozen seafood without a required operating permit or HACCP controls.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or specific contamination events. The hazard stems from regulatory non-compliance (lack of permit and HACCP controls) rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
