NATIONWIDE — Avanti Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd, is recalling some of its frozen shrimp products distributed nationwide from late December 2020 to late February 2021.

Various sizes of frozen cooked, peeled, deveined, shrimp (some packaged with cocktail sauce) sold in various unit sizes have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. 

Six reports of Salmonella-related illness have been reported to date associated with these cooked shrimp distributions. The potential for contamination was identified by Food and Drug Administration based on its prior testing of frozen cooked shrimp imported by Avanti Frozen Foods that were found to contain Salmonella.  Avanti Frozen Foods did not distribute and destroyed that prior shipment found to be of concern.

Consumers who have purchased the following products with the codes listed should return them to the place they were purchased.
