Plain-English summary

Yumei Foods USA, Inc., a City of Industry, California establishment, is recalling approximately 9,370 pounds of imported Siluriformes products. The affected items are 13.051 oz. (370g) plastic packages of “FISH FILLET WITH SPICY SOUP” and 12.35 oz. (350g) plastic packages of “FISH FILLET WITH PICKLED SOUP,” both labeled as Freeze Dried Technology Fish with No Preservative. These products do not bear an establishment number or a USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated because the products were imported from the People’s Republic of China, a country that is ineligible to export processed or ready-to-eat Siluriformes products to the United States. The issue was discovered during a routine FSIS surveillance activity. The products were shipped to retail and wholesale locations nationwide.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
