“Frozen Swai Fillet Recall: Do Not Consume Due to Import Violation.” GovInfoNow, updated October 9, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275586-frozen-swai-fillet-recall-do-not-consume-due-to-import. Based on USDA FSIS recall #052-2016 EXP-2 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/u-s--cado-holdings-inc--recalls-imported-siluriformes-fish-products-distributed).
Why it’s dangerous
The fish products entered U.S. commerce without passing required residue sampling and testing for drugs, pesticides, and other chemical residues. While there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions, the failure to meet these safety standards means the potential presence of harmful residues cannot be ruled out.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased frozen Swai fillets from retail locations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, or institutional locations in Puerto Rico, as well as those who bought Sea Queen brand products shipped to Aldi distribution centers. No specific demographic is identified as at higher risk, but anyone who ate the product should monitor for reactions.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for 15-lb boxes or 2-lb packages of frozen Swai fillets with specific labels and dates. Key identifiers include: Deep Water Sea Food brand (Prod Date 04/05/2016, Lot 1683475); Delta's Best Basa Brand (Lots 023015/023021, Best By 03-01-2018 to 03-16-2018); and Sea Queen brand (Plant FN1158, Lot SW1601-02-16090, Best By March 30, 2018).
