Company Expands Recall of Shrimp Due to Salmonella, Further Processors Using Recalled Shirmp Issue Recalls

Avanti Frozen Foods is expanding its June 2021 recall of frozen shrimp  after discussions with CDC and FDA.  With the expansion of this recall, additional recalls were posted by a company where this shrimp was used as part of RTE foods (sushi and sushi rolls).

This is where following recalls is important, especially where one is using ingredient from a company that just issued a recall.  Until the situation is resolved, it may be in the purchasing company's interest to change suppliers.  In this case, the company making sushi could have switched suppliers until it was clear that the contamination event was identified, clearing other product the ingredient supplier sold.
