What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is USDA Class I, the score must be at least 4.

Plain-English summary

Q's American Best Trading Inc., a Lakewood, California firm, is recalling approximately 1,008 pounds of imported frozen Siluriformes fish products, specifically Sheat fish. The products were imported from Vietnam to the United States on December 25, 2018. The specific product subject to the recall is 14-oz. clear bag packages containing “Q'S AMERICAN BEST AB CA TREN KET Sheat fish.”

The recall was initiated because the products were not presented for import re-inspection into the United States. The issue was discovered on January 29, 2019, during U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) surveillance activities at the distributor facility. These items were shipped to retail locations in California.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers' freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
