Recall alert: Frozen fish balls recalled nationwide including in Mass.
Thousands of pounds of frozen fish ball products were recalled Thursday, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Starway International Group LLC of Maspeth, New York, is recalling around 9,513 pounds of frozen Siluriformes fish ball products imported from Vietnam. This is because the products were not produced by a Vietnamese establishment authorized to export Siluriformes fish to the U.S. and do not have a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspection mark or establishment number.
