Raleigh, N.C., Jan. 14, 2026 — New Hoque & Sons Inc. of Maspeth, N.Y., has recalled packages of “Dry Ghoinnya Fish” because the product was found to be uneviscerated, creating a potential risk of botulism from Clostridium botulinum concentrated in fish viscera; consumers should not eat the product and should stop using it immediately.
