High - Class I USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service

Asian America Trading, Inc. Ineligible Siluriformes Fish products Imported recall: Import Violation

Recall published 2 months ago

Import Violation

The hazard: Produced without federal inspection

Nothing was necessarily found wrong with this food. What is wrong is that the checks which would have found a problem did not happen.

What the notice says: Import Violation

Why it matters: The product reached consumers without the federal inspection U.S. law requires, or was imported from a country not eligible to export it. No specific contaminant has necessarily been found — what is missing is the assurance that it was checked at all.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

There is no particular illness to watch for, because the recall reflects a missing process rather than a known pathogen. Treat any unexplained stomach upset after eating it the way you would any suspected food poisoning, and mention the product if you see a clinician.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Uninspected

Asian America Trading, Inc. — Nothing was necessarily found wrong with this food. What is wrong is that the checks which would have found a problem did not happen.

  1. Do not eat it, and do not serve it — the recall stands even though no contaminant has been named.
  2. If you bought it from a market stall, a social-media seller or an informal importer, treat anything else from that source with the same caution.
  3. Report the seller to USDA FSIS or the FDA if the product is still being offered.
  4. Return it to the store for a refund, or bin it sealed.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
