The FDA reported that Bornstein Seafoods (Bellingham, Washington) recalled 44,550 pounds of cooked and peeled ready-to-eat coldwater shrimp meat because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The product was distributed directly to distributors and retailers in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, Canada. Products may have been further distributed and sold at retailers nationwide. The product can be identified under Bornstein Seafoods branded packaging in 1 lb. or 5 lb. plastic bag. The market name is Shrimp. No illnesses have been reported to date. The recall was the result of the firm’s routine sampling program, during which Listeria monocytogenes was detected in an in-process shrimp sample within a food production environment. The company has ceased distribution of the product while continuing its root cause investigation to determine what caused the problem. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/bornstein-seafoods-inc-recalls-cooked-peeled-ready-eat-coldwater-shrimp-meat-because-possible-health
