There have been no confirmed illnesses reported to date.
The recall was initiated after the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) determined, during routine inspection, that the product containing allergens was distributed in packaging that did not identify the presence of fish (mahi, salmon, whiting, pollock, threadfin bream), crustacean shellfish (crab, lobster, shrimp), wheat, eggs, soy or milk. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a breakdown in the company’s labeling process.
Customers can return any product for a complete refund, please contact Captain Rusty Seafood @ 813-244-2799, Monday through Friday from 12:00PM – 6:00PM EST.
