Target and Whole Foods stores being recalled for a salmonella outbreak that affected nine people in four states and causing three to be hospitalized. The shrimp sold at Whole Foods falls under the brands, Whole Food’s 365 brand and Hannaford’s Nature’s Promise.
On August 13th it was announced, Avanti Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd, is voluntarily expanding a prior recall issued on June 25,2021 to include certain consignments of various sizes of frozen cooked, peeled, deveined, shrimp (with some packaged with cocktail sauce) sold in various unit sizes, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The frozen shrimp products were distributed nationwide from November 2020 to May 2021.
This recall expansion has been initiated out of an abundance of precaution and will cover a large amount of product that has not been associated with any illness but been undertaken following discussions with FDA and CDC and reflects Avanti’s commitment to Public health and safety.
The CDC reopened its investigation as the FDA requested Avanti reinvestigated its recall in June.
