Approximately 799 metric tons of various frozen cooked shrimp products, including brands like Chicken of the Sea, 365, and Meijer, are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. These products were distributed to importers and distributors in New Jersey, California, Illinois, New York, and Washington, and then sold at various retail stores nationwide. Consumers who have purchased these products should not eat them and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The shrimp may be contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain if consumed. In rare circumstances, the infection can enter the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
Full refund upon return.
