Food recall: Global Seafood Distributors Seafood Marinara Mix pulled from shelves after ‘foreign matter’ found

A seafood product has been urgently pulled from supermarket shelves after the discovery of “foreign matter” prompted the food safety watchdog to issue a recall notice.

Global Seafood Distributors Seafood Marinara Mix has been removed from shelves at IGA in WA and independent retailers in QLD, VIC and SA after mussel shell fragments were found in the product.

The item has also been sold in independent food retailers in NSW including Supabarn.

The recall effects the 500g bag of the product labelled with the best before date 21/09/2027.

People who purchased the product are being urged to avoid eating it as the shell fragments could cause injury if swallowed.

“Consumers should not eat this product,” the recall alert from Food Standards Australia and New Zealand warned.

“Consumers should return the product(s) to the place of purchase for a full refund. Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.”

The food recall comes one week after Murray River Smoke House Turkey Bacon was recalled after undeclared milk allergens were detected in the product.

The food safety watchdog issued the recall warning for 150g packages of the item marked with all use by dates up to and including May 28, 2026.

The product has been sold at independent supermarkets in NSW and VIC.

Customers with a milk allergy are being warned to not eat the product or risk becoming unwell.

“Any consumers who have a milk allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed,” the statement reads.

“Consumers who have a milk allergy or intolerance should not consume this product.
