A recall of certain frozen shrimp has been issued after consumers in Arizona and Nevada became ill. The frozen cooked shrimp was supplied by Avanti Frozen Foods, and sold under multiple brand names including 365, Censea, Chicken of the Sea, CWNO, Hannaford, Honest Catch, Meijer, Open Acres, and Waterfront Bistro.
The product was imported between December 2020 to February 2021, but may have been sold in stores more recently.
Salmonella was found in a sample of Avanti Frozen Foods shrimp that was collected as part of FDA’s Imported Seafood Compliance Program.
