The Washington-based seafood company voluntarily recalls more than 44,000 pounds of ready-to-eat shrimp meat about possible contamination by Listeria monosite egen.
The recall was the result of a “routine sampling program” implemented by company Bornstein Foods.
“Listeria monocytoegen was detected in in-process shrimp samples in a food production environment,” Bornstein Foods said in a June 10 notification from the Food and Drug Administration. “The company has stopped distributing its product as it continues to investigate the root cause of the problem.”
The affected products were sold directly to distributors and retailers in three states, including California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, Canada.
Bornstein Seafood, headquartered in Bellingham, Washington, pointed out in its recommendation that “the product may have been further distributed and sold at retailers across the country.” It has not revealed which distributors or retailers have sold this product, or how many, or how many. No illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.
When contacted by USA Today, Bornstein Seafoods referred to the FDA notification for questions.
