Plain-English summary

Corfu Foods, Inc., a Bensenville, Illinois firm, is recalling approximately 6,570 pounds of frozen swai (Siluriformes) fish products. The products, branded as "PACIFIC DYNASTY SWAI FILLETS" in 15-lb. bulk corrugated boxes with lot code VN 461 VI 354, were imported from Vietnam on January 15, 2022.

The recall was initiated because the products were not presented for import reinspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) as required. The items were distributed to institutions, restaurants, and retail locations in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Consumers may have purchased the fillets in bulk or hand-wrapped from fish counters.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS urges restaurants and institutions not to serve the product and advises consumers to discard the fillets or return them to the place of purchase.
