FDA Investigation – Scombroid Poisoning: FDA and state health authorities are investigating 47 cases of scombrotoxin fish poisoning in 10 states. The illnesses have been linked to ahi tuna imported from Vietnam. FDA has asked Truong Phu Xanh Co, LTD, the supplier of most of the implicated ahi, to initiate a voluntary recall of all of its imported yellowfin tuna with production dates from January 2019 to the present. So far, the company has not taken any action. FDA has placed Truong Phu Xanh Co, LTD on Import Alert, allowing the agency to detain product at the port of entry without need for physical examination.
