Pills found in Gorton's frozen fish leads to recall
Filed under: Health & Safety: Babies, Nutrition: Health, Shopping and recalls
Gorton's, Inc. has recalled about 1,000 cases of frozen fish after pills were discovered in some Crispy Battered Fish Fillets. Tracy Rowan of New Freedom, Pennsylvania says she and her nine-year-old daughter both found beige, aspirin-sized pills in their food and insists that she has no idea how they got there.
Rowan, her daughter, and her 10-year-old son were all checked out at a hospital and so far, nobody has gotten sick. "It's kind of frightening to not only find something in your mouth, a foreign object," Rowan said. "But then basically my heart stopped when my daughter said, 'I have one in my mouth, too,' and pulled it out."
The pill is being tested and in the meantime, Gorton's has recalled about 1,000 cases of the fish in the following states: Pennsylvania, Alabama, Delaware, California, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. This recall is for Gorton's 6 Crispy Battered Fish Fillets, 11.4 ounces. The UPC Code is No. 44400157770, with a date code of 7289G1 and a best-by date of April 2009.
Jud Reis, vice president of marketing for Gorton's says, "Obviously product alteration is a very serious matter. We are conducting a full investigation into the source of the problem."
Check your freezer and if you find you have this product, call Gorton's at (800) 896-9479 or go to their Web site.
