Pills in Gorton’s Fish Fillets Found to be Herbal Supplements
Gorton’s Inc. has announced that the tablets found in Crispy Battered Fish Fillets turned out to be over-the-counter herbal supplements. The company pointed out that the incident in Pennsylvania is an isolated case.
A month ago, woman in Pennsylvania reported to the authorities that while eating dinner, both she and her daughter found pills in their fish filets. The family underwent hospital evaluation but was found not to be affected by the suspicious tablets.
Since then, Gorton’s has voluntarily recalled 1,000 cases of the product in 11 states, including Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Affected product is an 11.4 ounce box of Crispy Battered Fish Fillets with “Best if used by” date April 2009, UPC code 4440015770 and date code 7289G1.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conducting an investigation into how the tablets found its way into the fillets.

WELL……THAT IS GOOD THAT THEY WERE ONLY HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS! HOW DID THEY GET THERE???????? THAT STILL IS A CRIME PUNISHABLE BY JAIL TIME……..SOMEONE HAD TO PUT THEM IN THERE…….THE FISH DIDNT EAT THEM….OR DID THEY???????? ALL THIS TIME, WE WERE WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THE PILLS WERE. NOW I WILL INSPECT ALL FOOD PREPARED THAT I COOK IN MY HOUSE. I AM MAINLY A VEGATARIAN NOW……ALTHOUGH FISH IS ONE OF THE MEAT’S I DID EAT OCCASSIONALLY. HOW SAD I WAS TO HEAR ABOUT THE CANTALOPE WITH SALMONELLA…….I GROW MY OWN GARDEN VEGATABLES….I USED TO RAISE CHICKENS UNTIL THE BIRD FLU CAME OUT…..GAVE THEM ALL AWAY…THESE DAYS EVERYONE BETTER LEARN TO GROW THERE OWN FOOD IN THE FUTURE..BUT ALOT OF AMERICANS “LIVE TO EAT”, NOT “EAT TO LIVE”.
keep on fearing the worst and you will be sold something to ease the worry.
I think this might be a case of “oops!” while the afternoon supplement slipped
out of the shirt pocket…too bad…our food products are now expected to come
out of a biohazard protection levels lab and not from the run of the mill world
nowadays….I am a believer in objective inspections, performed by an organization
that is beholden to the customers and the caregivers.
I agree, it does sound like an “oops” on their part. What other purpose would there be? It could have been much worse…there is always that small chance that your processed food will contain something abnormal, but ruling it out altogether is a little extreme, and so is growing your own food simply for the fear of finding a surprise in your fish dinner. These things don’t happen as often as some people think.
