On October 30, 2025, New Hoque & Sons Inc. of Maspeth, New York, issued an alert about a single lot of its product marketed as Dry Ghoinnya Fish (FDA.gov) after state testing showed the item had been sold uneviscerated. Federal and state food-safety authorities warn that uneviscerated, salt-cured, or dried fish have a well-documented association with foodborne botulism and can pose a life-threatening hazard to consumers. New Hoque & Sons’ alert asks retailers and consumers to check for a clear plastic package stamped with expiration date 5/19/25 and UPC 908172635412, and to stop distribution and consumption until the product is returned or destroyed.
