In a news release, the FDA said that Haifa Smoked Fish of Jamaica, New York was recalling the fish, which was sold in 8-ounce packages under the Haifa Smoked Fish & Caviar label as Turbot Cold Smoked.
Haifa Smoked Fish halted the distribution of the product and said it will continue to investigate what caused the problem, according to the FDA.
