Frozen whiting fillets recalled after wrong best by date was printed

What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 1 as a packaging and documentation problem: the only defect is a misprinted date, with no product defect and an FDA Class III designation.
Plain-English summary
