Summary

Greenhead Lobster Products is recalling approximately 10,520 pounds of ready-to-eat fresh and frozen lobster meat because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes 1-pound and 2-pound packages of fresh claw, knuckle, and tail meat, as well as 2-pound frozen packages distributed in Connecticut, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Consumers who have these products should not eat them and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk
