Plain-English summary

Quality Poultry & Seafood, Inc., a Biloxi, Mississippi establishment, is recalling approximately 98,916 pounds of various catfish fillet products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on September 15, 2025. The affected items include frozen catfish fillets, irregular catfish shank fillets, and stuffed catfish products, which were produced between September 2, 2024, and September 5, 2025.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. FSIS determined that the establishment was producing catfish products without the required oversight. Food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that pose a risk to consumer health and safety.

These products were shipped to restaurants and retail locations in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, as well as from the establishment’s own retail store. 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. Restaurants are urged not to serve these products.
