USDA Recalls Over 5,000 Pounds of Breaded Swai Due to Ineligible Export Country
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a recall for approximately 5,084 pounds of frozen breaded swai fish products imported from the United Arab Emirates. The recall affects products distributed to retail locations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The recall was initiated because the UAE is not eligible to export Siluriformes fish, including swai, to the United States under USDA regulations. The products, sold under the Al Kabeer brand, were produced in December 2025 and have use-before dates in June 2027. No illnesses have been reported, and the recall is based on compliance with import regulations rather than any identified contamination.
