Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes
fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and
others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with
Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody),
nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances,
infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into
the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as
arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and
arthritis.
The 16-ounce Waterfront Bistro
shrimp cocktail ring with sauce was supplied by Avanti
Frozen Foods and was available for purchase in California, New
Mexico and Texas from the following store banners: Albertsons,
Vons, Pavilions, United, Amigos, Market Street and Albertsons
Market. Customers may have purchased the shrimp in stores, online
for Drive Up and Go or grocery delivery.
The Waterfront Bistro shrimp
cocktail ring comes in a 16-ounce container and includes a 4-ounce
container of cocktail sauce. This is sold frozen. The round plastic
container is clear on the top with a black bottom. The Waterfront
Bistro logo is visible on the label in the center of the container
which describes the product as cooked in shell, deveined shrimp
cocktail with sauce. The affected product has a best before date of
10/30/2022 or 10/31/2022 and may have been purchased at one of the
banners listed above beginning in January 2021.
The Waterfront Bistro shrimp
cocktail rings being recalled bear the UPC code 21130 12627. The UPC code can be found on the
bottom of the package below the barcode. Products not bearing best
before dates of 10/30/2022 or 10/31/2022 are not affected by, or
involved in, this recall.
To date there have not been
any reports of Salmonella-related illness associated with
Waterfront Bistro shrimp cocktail rings.
The potential for
contamination was identified by the FDA based on its prior testing
of frozen cooked shrimp imported by Avanti Frozen Foods that was
found to contain Salmonella. Avanti Frozen Foods did not distribute
and destroyed that prior shipment found to be violative. The
company has taken preventative steps to eliminate the potential for
future contamination.
Customers who have purchased
this product are asked to discard or return it to the place of
purchase for a refund. Consumers with questions may contact Relish
