Packages of frozen fish from Vietnam containing rat poison were found by a seafood importer in Yamaguchi Prefecture, western Japan, with a recall issued nationwide, officials from Imura Industry said Thursday.
The seafood importer said that frozen dried Icelandic capelin with roe, imported in May, had been tainted with what appeared to be a yellow powder and traces of feces.
The company added that the fish packed in transparent bags had been tainted by the powder and at least one of the bags had been opened.
