More Than 45,000 Pounds of Shrimp Is Being Recalled Across Multiple States—Here's What You Need to Know originally appeared on Parade.
There are several culinary delicacies that you'd have to pay me to stop eating. Pickles, you can pry from my cold, dead hands, and don't even think about coming for my precious garlic. Croissants are fused into my bloodstream at this point, and there's no way I'm giving up cinnamon rolls. There is a world where these things don't exist—and some say we're already headed there with rapidity—but fortunately, today is not that day, and we can live to enjoy al pastor tacos for at least another day.

As much as all those things get my mouthwatering, though, there is one ingredient that no matter how much I try, I can never part with. If it's on the menu, I'm ordering it, and if it's dipped in garlic butter and cajun seasoning, I apologize in advance for who I'm about to become. Shrimp and I go together like peanut butter and jelly. We're locked in, and it would take a lot to tear us apart. Sure, some people refer to the succulent, juicy protein as the cockroach of the sea, but who cares when they taste so good?Of course, even I can't justify an all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet when the possibility of listeria is involved, and it looks like shrimp, and I might need to take a break for a second. A recent recall affecting a whopping 44,550 pounds of shrimp was filed by Bornstein Seafoods of Bellingham, Washington, over concerns for possible listeria contamination, according to the USDA. The recall comes after routine sampling of frozen shrimp packaged in 1- and 5-pound plastic bags came back positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
After the discovery, the manufacturer immediately stopped distributing the product and opened an investigation into what caused the problem. According to the FDA, the frozen product was distributed directly to distributors and retailers in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia in Canada and may have been distributed and sold at additional retailers nationwide.
The impacted 1-pound bags of shrimp meat have the UPC code 614133200246 and lot numbers A19008, A19009, A19019, A19026, A19030, A19032, A19037, and A19039, while the affected 5-pound bags have the UPC code 614133200239 and lot numbers A19009, P11710, A18989, A19006, A19007, P11709, and P11710. So far, no illnesses have been reported due to the recall; however, consumers are urged to return any affected product to the place of purchase for a refund immediately. If you have any additional questions or concerns, you can contact Bornstein Seafoods directly by emailing [e-mail].
