There’s another recall in the news😱

If you purchased frozen shrimp at Costco, BJ’s, and Tops between late February and mid-May 2020, take note – many varieties are being recalled over concerns of potential Salmonella.

These frozen shrimps were sold in 1lb, 1.5lb., and 2lb. retail bags of a variety of shrimps including pre-cooked, peeled and deveined, and more.  Brand names for the recall include Kirkland Signature, Wellsley Farms, Tops, and more.

For details on the specific products being recalled, go to the FDA website.

While no illnesses have been reported, the FDA warns that cross contamination was the likely reason salmonella might be on the shrimp. Kader Exports, the manufacturer of the product, says that the source of the contamination has been removed and that steps have been taken to prevent it in the future.

Consumers who have purchased the above products are encouraged to throw them out or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

    I quit eating shrimp long ago. I heard it is produced by slave labor.
    Shrimp are bottom feeders. My cat used to get sick anytime shrimp was in its canned food.

      Thanks for this comment. I looked up shrimping after your comment and had no idea about the abuses in the Thai shrimp trade 😕 I try to buy seafood that claims to be sustainable sources, but now I will also check my shrimp.

    I had shrimp, but can’t recall if it was the Kirkland brand.
    I started getting the chills, diarrhea and a temperture of 99
    Will check the codes and then throw the bags out
