Heat & Serve Fried Fish Sell By: (up to and including) 4/02/15 PLU: 37156 Contains Fish (Pangasus), Soy, Wheat Giant Eagle Distributed by: Giant Eagle, inc., Pittsburgh, PA 15238

Giant Eagle, INC. recalled Heat & Serve Fried Fish 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 29, 2015.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Giant Eagle recalls store produced RTE Fried Fish, Lemon Meringue Pie and Coconut Meringue Pie for undeclared allergens." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "MD OH PA WV." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Pittsburgh, PA. The recall covers 730 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported May 6, 2015), 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.
