Retailer Recalls Cooked Shrimp For Being Undercooked

Kroger recalled cooked shrimp on  sold in MI, OH, and VA due to the fact they were raw or undercooked. Product affected was manufactured on two dates - 8/25 and 8/26/18.
This issue date was 12/26/18, which would indicate 1) it was discovered through customer complaints, and 2) with the holiday at hand, it was probably a good likelihood that people ate undercooked shrimp. 

Personally, I prefer to cook my own shrimp.
