    • Wilson Foods' own storefront lists Carib Ackees in Brine at $16.75 with an add-to-cart control and states Pickup available at 825 Murfreesboro Pike, usually ready in 2 hours. The listing establishes the brine pack medium but no can size, processor or lot, and no shelf quantity. The page's mention of Jamaica's national dish is culinary copy and is not evidence about any salted fish product's species.

    About the product itself

    This describes what the product is. It does not indicate that this store carries it.

    • FDA guidance states that hypoglycin A is a heat-stable toxin occurring in ackee, that the edible part of a fully ripe, properly processed ackee fruit is safe to eat, and that unripe fruit and the rind and seeds of ripe fruit are never safe to eat. This is why the concept is bounded to commercially canned arils from an identifiable processor. It is general guidance: it guarantees no individual can or lot and says nothing about any retailer's stock. U.S. Food and Drug Administration · Aug 31, 2026

    • Wilson Foods' own storefront lists Double Deuce Ackee at $19.25 with an add-to-cart control and states Pickup available at 825 Murfreesboro Pike, usually ready in 2 hours. Wilson Foods is the seller; Shopify is the host platform. Seller-published pickup readiness is catalog state, not a counted shelf or a completed pickup, and the page states no can size, pack medium, lot or processor. Earlier research recorded conflicting sold-out wording on this page; no such conflict was present at this observation.

    • An independent New York-area grocer lists Double Deuce Premium Jamaican Ackee in Brine, 15 oz, which corroborates that the Double Deuce brand's canned ackee is packed in brine in a 15 oz retail can. This is product identity only. Foodtown is not a Middle Tennessee source, no relationship with it is authored, the observed store context was Foodtown of White Plains Road with delivery unavailable, and this does NOT establish the size, medium or lot of the can Wilson Foods currently lists. Foodtown (New York-area grocer) · Aug 31, 2026
    • FDA Import Alert 21-11, Detention Without Physical Examination of Ackees Due to Hypoglycin A, published 2025-04-25, lists Double Deuce Jamaica, Ltd. of Yallahs, Saint Thomas, Jamaica, published 2010-03-24, for canned ackees under industry code 21 as a commercially sterile metal pack. This is processor-level import status at retrieval. It is not a safety guarantee for any individual can, not a statement about any retailer's stock, and not a permanent status.
