Gorton's Inc. recalled about 1,000 cases of frozen fish in 10 states Friday after confirming that a Pennsylvania customer found pills in her food.
Gorton's said it ordered the recall as a
precaution while a laboratory works to determine the nature of the pills. Those tests should be complete early this week.
"Obviously, product alteration is a very serious matter," said Jud Reis,
VP/marketing for the company, based in Gloucester, Mass. "We are conducting a full investigation into the source of the problem."
