跟进：Haifa冷熏西鲱召回约560磅：全部批次涉肉毒杆菌风险，销往纽约、新泽西、宾夕法尼亚三州零售店
美国食品药品监管局（FDA）10月27日发布企业公告：纽约市皇后区的 Haifa Smoked Fish（公司名 D&M Smoked Fish Inc.）宣布召回约560磅冷熏西鲱（Cold Smoked Sprats），全部批次在列，原因是产品可能受肉毒杆菌（Clostridium botulinum）污染；这批产品经零售店销往纽约州、新泽西州与宾夕法尼亚州，截至目前尚无相关患病报告。
召回产品以散装形式装在大纸箱中、冷藏运输，纸箱标注 Cold Smoked Sprats。公司提醒消费者，即使产品看起来或闻起来没有变质也不要食用；已购买者可将产品退回购买处获得全额退款，咨询电话为 718-523-8899（美东时间上午9点至下午5点）。
此次召回源于 FDA 的一次检查。FDA 派员检查 D&M Smoked Fish 位于纽约市皇后区 Jamaica 的工厂后发现，该公司生产冷熏西鲱时没有落实防止肉毒杆菌生长与毒素形成的必要食品安全控制措施。FDA 10月23日曾建议该公司召回市面上全部冷熏西鲱，公司当时拒绝，FDA 随即自行发布警示，提醒消费者、零售商、批发商、餐厅与餐饮客户勿吃、勿卖、勿供应这一产品；当时确认的分销范围还包括康涅狄格州，并可能流向更多州。本站10月23日曾报道该警示，此次公司宣布召回约560磅产品。
肉毒中毒是一种可能致命的食物中毒，可引起全身无力、头晕、视力模糊或复视、说话或吞咽困难、呼吸困难、其他肌肉无力、腹胀与便秘等症状，出现这些症状者应立即就医。FDA 提醒，受肉毒杆菌毒素污染的食物可能看起来、闻起来、吃起来都正常，却仍可致病；无法确认手中冷熏西鲱是否出自 Haifa Smoked Fish 的消费者，应联系购买处或供应商确认，不要食用。

Follow-Up: Haifa Smoked Fish Recalls About 560 Pounds of Cold Smoked Sprats Over Botulism Risk: All Lots Sold Through Retail Stores in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted a company announcement on October 27 stating that Haifa Smoked Fish of Queens, New York (D&M Smoked Fish Inc.), is recalling approximately 560 pounds of Cold Smoked Sprats, with all lots included, due to potential contamination with Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium that causes botulism. The product was distributed through retail stores in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and no illnesses have been reported to date.
The recalled sprats were packed loose in bulk cardboard boxes labeled Cold Smoked Sprats and shipped refrigerated. The company warned consumers not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled. Consumers who purchased the product are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund; questions can be directed to the company at 718-523-8899 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
The recall follows an FDA inspection at D&M Smoked Fish Inc. in Jamaica, Queens, which found the firm was producing cold-smoked sprats without the required food safety controls to prevent Clostridium botulinum growth and toxin formation. On October 23, the FDA recommended the company recall all cold smoked sprats on the market; the firm declined at that time, and the FDA issued its own alert advising consumers, retailers, wholesalers, restaurants and food service customers not to eat, sell or serve the product, which had been confirmed in Connecticut as well and may have reached additional states. GSM reported that alert on October 23; the company has now announced a recall of about 560 pounds.
Botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause general weakness, dizziness, double vision and trouble speaking or swallowing, as well as difficulty breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal distension and constipation; people experiencing these problems should seek immediate medical attention. The FDA notes that food contaminated with botulinum toxin can look, taste or smell normal but still make people sick, and consumers who cannot tell whether their cold smoked sprats came from Haifa Smoked Fish should contact their place of purchase or supplier and not eat them.
