More Than 40,000 Pounds of Shrimp Recalled Over Potential Health Risk
If you're a frequent consumer of seafood, it might be time to check what's in your fridge. According to a statement issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 44,550 pounds of Bornstein Seafoods' Cooked and Peeled Ready-to-Eat Coldwater Shrimp Meat have been recalled due to the potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria that causes Listeria. The product was distributed in states like California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia (Canada), and may have been further distributed nationwide. Bornstein Seafoods, located in Bellingham, Washington, urges consumers to return the product immediately and receive a full refund.
Listeria monocytogenes, the organism that causes Listeria, can sometimes cause fatal infections in young children, elderly people, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals might experience common symptoms such as fever, headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. No illnesses have been reported to date. To ensure you haven't purchased the affected products, read on for the full product listing—along with their Universal Product Code (UPC) and Lot number.
