Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Greenhead Lobster Products LLC is recalling approximately 3,622 pounds of various frozen cooked lobster products, including claw and knuckle meat, broken meat, tail meat, and scored claws. These products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. The affected lobster was distributed in 1-lb, 2-lb, 3-lb, and 10.3-oz packages across Colorado, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New York, and Connecticut. Consumers who have purchased these products should not consume them and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and newborns. Listeria infection can cause high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and can lead to miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
