FDA Seafood Enforcement Lookup
Warning Letters, Import Alerts & Import Refusals · 21 C.F.R. Part 123 (Seafood HACCP) · 2023–2025 · Catfish excluded (USDA-regulated)
How this differs from USDA Processor Lookup: FDA does not assign establishment numbers printed on seafood labels. The public enforcement record is organized by regulated firm, not by the brand on the package. A row here means FDA took formal action — absence does not mean a firm is clean, since the public record is incomplete, especially for foreign firms.
FDA Seafood Enforcement Actions, 2023–2026
Every U.S.-marketed seafood firm with a public FDA enforcement action on record — warning letter, import alert, or import refusal — showing the cited violation, the firm’s country, where the case stands in the warning → import-alert → refusal lifecycle, and the latest public action. Search or filter below to narrow the list.
Compiled from FDA public records; current through May 2026.
What brand was on the package?
FDA enforcement records name the regulated firm, not the brand on the shelf — and FDA-regulated seafood carries no establishment number, so most firms here supply private-label product whose retail brand isn’t public. A handful, though, are publicly tied to US consumer brands:
- PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (Indonesia) → Walmart Great Value, Kroger, and Aqua Star frozen shrimp — named in the 2025 cesium-137 recall.
- Stavis Seafoods (Boston) → BOS’N salmon and breaded seafood.
- Biloxi Freezing & Processing (Mississippi) → M&M, Ocean Bounty, and Biloxi Shrimp Co. shrimp.
- 100Misterios (Portugal) → José Gourmet canned smoked trout and octopus.
- Agustson (Denmark) → Agustson lumpfish caviar.
For every other firm below, the US retail brand is not publicly disclosed. Brand links compiled from public recall notices, FDA advisories, and company sources.

About this lookup
What this shows
FDA enforcement actions against seafood processors, importers, and food manufacturers with seafood product lines, 2023–2025. Each record carries the issue cited, the country of the firm, how far the case has publicly progressed, and — where available — a direct link to the FDA source document.
Why there is no establishment number
USDA FSIS assigns establishment numbers (EST. ####) that appear on every federally inspected meat and poultry label. FDA does not operate an equivalent system for seafood — there is no FDA facility number printed on seafood packages. So a seafood product cannot be looked up by a label identifier the way FSIS-inspected meat can; this registry works by firm name instead.
Enforcement actions included
Warning Letter — FDA’s primary tool for achieving voluntary compliance; cites specific violations (often Seafood HACCP) and requires written corrective action.
Import Alert — places a firm on Detention Without Physical Examination (DWPE); future shipments are detained at the border without individual review.
Import Refusal — a specific shipment is refused entry to the U.S.
Scope & limitations
Covers FDA-regulated seafood under 21 C.F.R. Part 123 only. Catfish and other Siluriformes are regulated by USDA-FSIS and are excluded. The public record is incomplete, especially for foreign firms; this is entity-level enforcement context, not a verdict on any specific consumer brand.
