The Canadian government issued a recall for Jinju brand Fish Cakes on Thursday, October 24. The surimi product, distributed in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba, is being recalled due to the undeclared presence of egg.

Seoul Trading Corp. is the recall company in this case, which includes 500g (UPC 8 801077 529805) and 1kg (UPC 8 801077 510308) packages of Jinju’s Fish Cake.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirmed that the recall was triggered by test results showing the presence of egg in the product, but not declared on the packaging.

No reactions associated with the consumption of these products have been reported, the CFIA said. However, the federal agency is asking retailers and food service providers not to serve, use, sell or distribute the product.

The CFIA said it was conducting a food safety investigation that “could lead to the recall of other products.” The agency also verifies that the industry removes recalled products from the market.
