RECALL: Largest Grocery Chain Recalls Shrimp Because Of Potential Health Hazard
There aren’t many things that are more devastating than hearing about a recall for an item that you just bought at the grocery store and already ate. That was us during one of the recent Romain lettuce recalls. We immediately discarded all of the leftovers and thanked our lucky stars that we didn’t get sick.
There’s a new recall alert from Kroger, and if you live in Michigan, Ohio or Virginia, you better check your refrigerator and freezer.
This time, the recall is for various types of shrimp that were sold at stores owned by Kroger including Fry’s, Smith’s and King Soopers.
According to a press release, Kroger says you “should not eat the product” due to the fact that it “may be under-cooked, which could result in contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens.”
Here is a full list of the shrimp that is included in the recall. Be sure to check the UPC codes for any shrimp you purchased.
