The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it’s investigating a series of incidents of fish poisoning and has placed a Vietnamese company linked to the outbreak under close watch as the company has so far refused to issue a recall for its products.

Some 47 people became ill from scombrotoxin fish poisoning between Aug. 8 and Oct. 15 across 10 states, the federal agency said.
