Why FDA issued it
Note: The revision of this Import Alert (IA) dated 06/02/2025 updates the name of the alert, reason for alert, guidance, agency contacts, product description and charge codes. Changes to the import alert are bracketed by asterisks (***). The Division of Northeast Imports collected a sample of frozen cooked clam meat, which was analyzed by the Northeast Food and Feed Lab and revealed excessive levels of Escherichia Coli (E.Coli). ***E. coli is a microbiological indicator of fecal contamination because it is commonly found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals including humans. The presence of E. coli in fish and fishery products indicates the product has been contaminated with human or animal feces and additional foodborne pathogens that can indicate a food safety hazard could be present. An effective cooking process by the manufacturer will eliminate E. coli and other pathogens. The
