Plain-English summary

The recall includes 30-lb. plastic bags and cardboard boxes of IQF Frozen Catfish Steaks and 40 + Oz Fresh Catfish Whole. These items were produced between January 25, 2021, and May 21, 2021, and shipped to wholesale and retail locations in Illinois and Indiana.

The recall was initiated after routine FSIS surveillance activities determined that the catfish products did not have the USDA mark of inspection and were produced in an establishment that was not inspected by USDA. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
