Uneviscerated Processed Fish

Uneviscerated processed fish is not approved for sale in the United States due to naturally occurring Clostridium botulinum concerns.  If processed fish (cooked, dried, salted, cured, smoked) greater than 5 inches is found the product must be destroyed and will be placed on FDA import alert.
