Pacific Seafood - Portland, LLC is recalling approximately 15,498 pounds of Pacific Seafood Raw Blackened Shrimp (Peeled & Deveined Tail-Off) because the product may contain sulfites that are not declared on the packaging label. The refrigerated, farm-raised shrimp was sold in 8-ounce trays and distributed in Alabama, Florida, and Massachusetts. The issue was discovered after testing revealed 3.4mg of sulfur dioxide per serving, which can cause serious health issues for people with sulfite sensitivities.
Consumers with a sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. While the risk level is categorized as low for the general population, the presence of undeclared sulfur dioxide poses a specific hazard to those with sulfite allergies.

Ingredients include Shrimp, Water, Salt, Sodium tripolyphosphate, and Blackened Seasoning (Sea Salt, Paprika, Spices, Onion, Garlic, Paprika Extract).
