There's a Major Frozen Shrimp Recall...Again

It may be the prime season for beachside clambakes, but you may want to hold off on throwing shrimp into the pot. Just a couple of months after a smaller recall of frozen shrimp was issued, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that even more bags of frozen pre-cooked shrimp are coming off the shelves due to salmonella contamination. On August 13th, 2021, the FDA issued a statement alerting consumers that Avanti Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd, has voluntarily recalled various sizes of frozen cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp (some of which were packaged with prepared cocktail sauce) sold in various unit sizes. This is an expansion of a prior recall issued on June 25th, 2021.
The recall is fairly substantial. The frozen shrimp products were distributed to a variety of grocery stores nationwide from November 2020 to May 2021. The brands were distributed to retailers such as Hannaford, Meijer, Target, and Whole Foods. At this time, the majority of products have not been associated with any foodborne illnesses, but are being recalled out of an abundance of caution. However in June, nine individuals in four different states including Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Rhode Island contracted salmonella poisoning after consuming one of the shrimp products and three people have been hospitalized, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
