Royal Seafood Baza recalled Refrigerated, Ready to Eat Herring in Brine under firms brand name FRESH SEAFOOD packaged in a 10.9 oz. (310g) plastic retail container in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Mar 18, 2016.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Royal Seafood Baza, Inc. has recalled all pickled products produced on 3/1/2016, 3/2/2016 and also all herring products produced on 2/29/2016 due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "NY & PA via retail stores." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Staten Island, NY. The recall covers 120 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 16, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
