Loblaws recalls packages of cooked shrimp

Loblaws, Inc. is recalling packages of shrimp sold at its grocery stores across Canada.

The unbranded packages are labelled Cooked Shrimp (56./65 Shrimp per lb.) – Pacific White Shrimp.

Loblaws issued a recall March 1 over concerns the packages may contain raw shrimp, which can carry harmful bacteria.

In Western Canada, the 300-gram packages were sold at Extra Foods, No Frills, Real Canadian Superstore, Wholesale Club, Independent and affiliated independent stores.

The affected packages have product code 2018 OC 20: PM AP on them.

Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Health Canada advised anyone who things they may have gotten sick from consuming a recalled product to call their doctor.
