Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Import Violation"

Plain-English summary

U.S. Cado Holdings, Inc., a Santa Ana, California establishment, is recalling approximately 29,645 pounds of imported, frozen Swai fillets. This recall is an expansion of previous actions taken in June 2016 and includes products produced in Vietnam by Golden Quality Seafood Corporation. The affected products include Deep Water Sea Food brand, Deltas Best Basa brand, and Sea Queen brand fillets, with production dates ranging from March 1, 2016, to April 5, 2016.

The recall was initiated because the products were distributed into U.S. commerce without meeting federal importation requirements. Specifically, the fish failed to comply with FSIS requirements concerning residue sampling and testing prior to entry into United States commerce. The products were shipped to institutional locations in Puerto Rico and retail locations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.

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.
