Reason for recall

Dawn's Foods, inc. is conducting a voluntary recall of certain seafood products packaged in 5# and 10 oz. containers. This is being done with the abundance of cation due to the fact that we cannot exclude the possibility that the affected sizes may be a viable environment for pathogen growth.

Packaging recalls include wrong labels, wrong products in the wrong bottle, missing leaflets, short-filled or empty capsules and seals that fail.
