Bornstein Seafoods of Bellingham, Washington is recalling 44,550 pounds of Cooked & Peeled Ready-To-Eat Coldwater Shrimp Meat due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This organism can cause serious infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. While healthy individuals may experience mild symptoms, listeria can lead to more severe outcomes, including miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
The affected products were distributed to distributors and retailers in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, Canada, and may have been sold nationwide. The shrimp can be identified by Bornstein Seafoods branded packaging in 1 lb. or 5 lb. bags. The lot codes are printed on the master case label and the back of the individual bags.
