Almost 45,000 lbs Of Shrimp Recalled Due To Possible ‘Fatal’ Listeria Contamination

 

Omg! Nearly 45,000 pounds of shrimp have been recalled after a routine sampling showed a possible contamination.

According to a statement issued by the FDA, Bornstein Seafoods Inc. is recalling 44,550 lbs. of its Cooked & Peeled Ready-To-Eat Coldwater Shrimp Meat over concerns of listeria. Per the statement, listeria monocytogenes can cause “serious and sometimes fatal infections” for children and the elderly, and even pregnancy complications.

Thankfully, no illnesses have been reported at this time. In addition to the recall, Bornstein Seafoods has stopped product distribution as an investigation unfolds to find the cause.
