Public Health Alert Issued for Frozen Catfish Imported From China

The products were not inspected by the USDA and were shipped to retailers in New York, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma.

Chinese Catfish Public Health Alert
USDA

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for imported frozen Siluriformes products—known to consumers as catfish or pangasius fish—that were illegally imported from the People’s Republic of China and are ineligible for entry into the U.S.

The items are believed to have been shipped to retail and wholesale locations in New York, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania. There have been no confirmed reports so far of adverse reactions due to eating these products.                               

The items were not certified for export to the U.S. by the government of China as being produced under equivalent inspection, they do not identify a certified establishment number on their packaging, and they were not presented to FSIS for import reinspection as required. These factors make the products ineligible to import into the U.S. and unfit for human consumption. FSIS is working with other agencies to investigate how these products entered the country.
