Why it was recalled

The product is labeled as Octopus on its label display, while ingredients list Dosidicus Gigas, which is a scientific definition for Jumbo Squid. The firm was informed of this issue by FDA, and voluntarily decided to recall the product, because it appears to be misbranded.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
