Shrimp sushi sold at New Leaf Community Market stores recalled over salmonella concerns - Food Safety News

Mai Franchising Inc. of Allentown, PA is recalling 103 packs of sushi containing cocktail shrimp in the state of California over potential salmonella contamination. The recalled products were sold from Mai Sushi counters at New Leaf Community Market stores in northern California.

The recall was initiated after Avanti Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd expanded their recall to include a particular lot of frozen shrimp received by Mai Sushi at some California locations. Although these products have a shelf life of 1 day, the firm is initiating this recall to ensure customer safety. No illnesses have been confirmed in relation to the sushi shrimp.

The overall Avanti recall is linked to a Salmonella outbreak.

"There have been nine reports of Salmonella-related illness to date associated with these cooked shrimp distributions," the Avanti Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd. expanded recall notice said. At least two people have been hospitalized.

About Salmonella

Food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria does not usually look, smell, or taste spoiled. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection. Infants, children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile, according to the CDC.

Anyone who has eaten any recalled products and developed symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis. Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis.

Symptoms of Salmonella infection can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Otherwise, healthy adults are usually sick for four to seven days. In some cases, however, diarrhea may be so severe that patients require hospitalization.

Older adults, children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients, are more likely to develop a severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions. Some people get infected without getting sick or showing any symptoms. However, they may still spread the infections to others.
