Plain-English summary
Malgor & Co., Inc. is voluntarily recalling 1,008 cases of Cedeira Octopus in Oil Spiced Piquant, Net Weight 4.4oz (125g). Each case contains 25 tins. The product was distributed only in Puerto Rico. The specific lot code is OL21715.
The recall was initiated after the FDA informed the firm that the product is misbranded.

This discrepancy means the product is not labeled accurately regarding its primary ingredient.
