Kader Exports reminds shrimp about contamination of salmonella


Kader Exports remembers certain shrimp products due to potential contamination of salmonella, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Frozen cooked, peeled and designed shrimp sold in 1 lbs, 1.5 lbs. and 2 lbs. bags were recalled, the FDA said.

The shrimp were distributed nationwide from late February to mid-May of this year. According to the FDA, it is believed that most, if not all, of the shrimp were consumed and that all remaining shrimp were put on hold to be further evaluated.

As of Wednesday, there were no reports of any diseases associated with the spread of shrimp, the FDA wrote. But, the FDA said it tested cooked shrimp and found it had Salmonella.

Kader Exports agreed to voluntarily destroy the cooked shrimp Salmonella had, the FDA said, adding that the “likely main cause” for the recall is cross-contamination.

“The company has eliminated the source of contamination and preventive steps were taken,” the FDA wrote.

Salmonella infections usually result in stomach cramps, fever, and diarrhea. While most people recover without treatment, sometimes serious illnesses require hospitalization because the infection can spread from the gut to the bloodstream and then elsewhere in the body.
