Why the FDA Ordered the Dried Croaker Fish Recall

Routine testing by the New York Department of Agriculture flagged imported dried croaker fish from Vietnam that had not been eviscerated. U.S. regulations require evisceration to reduce the risk of botulism and other food-borne illnesses. Prime Food Processing immediately began the voluntary recall after receiving the results.
