Asia Cash and Carry Recalls Crown Farms Brand "Gulsha" Fish Because of Possible Healt

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Maspeth, New York -- March 13, 2009 --

Asia Cash & Carry Inc. in Maspeth, New York, is recalling 17 cases of CROWN FARMS brand "GULSHA" Frozen Fish (Bangladeshi Freshwater Fish) in 500 g packages with production code AUG 2008 because the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
CROWN FARMS brand "GULSHA" (Bangladeshi Freshwater Fish) Fish was distributed to retail stores in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan and Virginia.

The GULSHA Frozen Fish was imported from Bangladesh, and distributed in cases containing vacuum-packed 500 gram packages with a production date of AUG 2008, expiration date JULY 2010, and UPC code 5 060065 430704. There are 16 - 500 gram packages per case.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall is the result of sampling by the US Food and Drug Administration which revealed that the finished product contained the bacteria. The company had partially distributed the entry prior to FDA's findings.
Consumers who have purchased CROWN FARMS brand "GULSHA" Frozen Fish with production date of AUG 2008 and expiration date JULY 2010are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
