The agency’s classification

USDA FSIS: Class I

Class I is 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.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

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'. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is USDA Class I, the score must be at least 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Crab House Trading Corp., a Los Angeles, California establishment, is recalling approximately 49,000 pounds of frozen Siluriformes products, specifically yellow walking fish. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on May 15, 2019. The affected product consists of various weight vacuum-sealed packages of frozen TRIPLE PEARL HEADLESS-CLEANED YELLOW WALKING FISH CA TRE VANG LAM SACH CAT DAU. These packages may have best before dates of 20210203 or 20201225, or no date at all on the label.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. FSIS discovered the issue during follow-up surveillance activities. The products were shipped to retail and wholesale locations in California. 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. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers' freezers. Consumers with questions can contact Jose Benitez, Office Manager at Crab House Trading Corp., at (213) 627-6398, or use the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
