The suit alleges that the makers of smoked salmon and mackerel failed to take steps to minimize contamination by potentially life-threatening bacteria.
It says a February inspection of a Brooklyn plant found that fish wasn’t being cooked long enough and that a brining solution wasn’t salty enough.
Prosecutors are seeking a court order that would force N.Y. Fish to stop distributing its products.
A woman who answered the phone at the company on Friday declined comment.
