Take a moment today and check your freezer:\u00a0100,000 pounds of catfish fillets have been recalled by\u00a0Quality Poultry & Seafood Products Inc.<\/p>\n
According to The Takeout<\/em><\/a>, Quality Poultry & Seafood Products Inc. informed the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that it was producing the catfish.<\/p>\n The FSIS confirmed it was never inspected.<\/p>\n Food safety is a major priority for the American government, so when it was brought to both parties’ attention, the recall was issued.<\/p>\n Now, if you want to get your Bear Grylls<\/a> on and eat the un-inspected fish anyway, you will likely be okay.<\/p>\n But due to the fact that the fish was not inspected first, there is no guarantee that it is safe from bacteria and pathogens that could cause you great harm.<\/p>\n Here is where the story gets a little, ahem fishy<\/em>: The recalled fish has been out there and sold since\u00a0September 2, 2024.<\/p>\n Since the item at hand is frozen catfish, some consumers and restaurants might still have some fillets in a freezer somewhere, just waiting to be cooked.<\/p>\n The FSIS has put up a full list<\/a> of establishments where the frozen catfish was sold.<\/p>\n If you live in\u00a0Alabama, Louisiana,\u00a0or Mississippi, there is a chance that if you purchased frozen catfish from your local grocery store, it could indeed be from\u00a0Quality Poultry & Seafood Products Inc..<\/p>\n Anyone with any further questions or concerns are asked to call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline — I learned this was indeed a thing today.<\/p>\n According to FoodSafety<\/em><\/a>, frozen fish lasts indefinitely, but for optimal taste and texture, aim to consume it within 3 to 8 months.<\/p>\n It’s always shocking when last year’s Entertainer of the Year favorite is shut out of this year’s nominations. That’s mostly what happened to the No. 1 artist on our snubs and surprises list.<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nHow Long Can Frozen Fish Last in the Freezer?<\/h3>\n
