Company issues nationwide fish recall due to botulism poisoning risk

New York-based Krasniy Oktyabr Inc. USA is recalling a fish product due to the potential risk of botulism poisoning.

The company’s Aral Silver Vobla brand Aral “was found to be uneviscerated,” according to a statement from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

That means the fish went to retail stores whole, without being gutted.

The product comes in a plastic vacuum-sealed bag with a blue label that has two fish inside and is marked “Product of Kazakhstan.”

The potential health risk was discovered following sampling by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets food inspectors that led to analysis by the New York State Food Laboratory.

“The sale of uneviscerated fish is prohibited because clostridium botulinum spores are more likely to be concentrated in the viscera than any other portion of the fish,” the FDA statement said.
