Why was Dried Herring Fish 7 oz. recalled?

What Clostridium botulinum actually means

Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that can produce a toxin causing botulism, a rare but serious illness most often associated with improperly processed canned or packaged foods. Because of the potential severity, regulators act quickly on any related contamination.

In this case, the concern applies specifically to Dried Herring Fish 7 oz. from Prime Food Processing LLC. — not to the wider category of products. Similar items from other brands aren't part of this recall.

How to check whether you have it

On packaged food, lot codes and best-by dates are usually printed in small date-coding ink on the side seam, the bottom of the package, or near the top seal — not on the front label. The UPC barcode is on the back or bottom.

What to do if you already bought it

Do not eat the product, even if it looks and smells normal — contamination is usually invisible.

Return it to the store for a refund, or throw it away in a sealed bag so pets and wildlife can't reach it.

If it touched other food or surfaces, wash those surfaces and your hands with hot soapy water. When in doubt, contact Prime Food Processing LLC. or your local health department.
