Recall of fish from China recalled because two people poisoned:
The seafood importer began a voluntary recall after reports that two Chicago-area people became ill after eating soup that contained the fish, according to a statement.Not to be paranoid or anything, but does anyone else see a kinda... trend?
The frozen shipments were packed in 22-pound boxes that were sold to wholesalers in California, Illinois and Hawaii beginning in September. Each of the 282 boxes was labeled "Monk fish, gutted and head off, Product of China," the company said.
But the Food and Drug Administration confirmed Thursday that its tests of the fish had found potentially lethal amounts of tetrodotoxin, a substance usually associated with the skin and certain organs of the puffer fish.
"Clearly, we are concerned. We are taking it very seriously," said FDA spokeswoman Kathy McDermott.
The fish recall was the latest in a list of problem products from China, a leading exporter of food and food ingredients.
