Cross contamination is the likely cause of listeria in these shrimp products, FDA said. The manufacturer has identified the source of contamination and taken preventative steps to avoid future recalls.
Consumers who purchased any recalled shrimp should either discard it or return it for a full refund.
If you ate shrimp and are experiencing any symptoms of listeria — headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance or convulsions — you should dial 9-1-1 immediately for medical assistance.
