The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) on Thursday alerted the public to an unlicensed smoker processed and traded seafood products from an “unapproved establishment.”
The FSA has issued a Food Alert for Action against smoked mackerel, catfish, barracuda and tilapia processed by Llyod & Sons.
FSA said the products should not be eaten.
Investigations at the premises found that Lloyds & Sons was smoking fish products without approval from the competent authority and a remedial action notice has been served on the premises. Some of the implicated products may still be available on sale at food premises in the London area.
Despite investigations by the enforcement authorities, it has not been possible to obtain full distribution details. There is known distribution to some specialist retail establishments in London. However, it is possible that distribution may have taken place to other establishments outside of London.
