Seafood Recall Tracker — Fish and Shellfish Alerts
Seafood is recalled regularly for Listeria (in smoked fish and ready-to-eat products), Vibrio (in raw shellfish), species mislabeling, and undeclared allergens. The FDA has documented widespread species substitution in seafood sold at retail — making accurate labeling a constant challenge.
Seafood-specific recall risks
Smoked salmon and other smoked fish products are a primary vector for Listeria monocytogenes — these ready-to-eat products are not cooked before consumption, and Listeria can survive in cold-smoked fish. Raw shellfish, particularly oysters, can carry Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, especially during warm months when bacteria multiply rapidly.
Species mislabeling in seafood
The FDA has investigated seafood fraud for decades. Studies have found that a significant percentage of seafood sold at retail and in restaurants is mislabeled — cheaper species substituted for premium ones (e.g., tilapia sold as grouper, pangasius sold as sole). Mislabeling is a recurring reason for FDA enforcement actions and recalls.
