The recalled products were sold across the country in popular retailers, including Target, Whole Foods, Food Lion, and Meijer. They were sold under various labels, such as Whole Foods’ 365 brand and Hannaford’s and Stop and Shop’s Nature’s Promise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the recalled items were distributed between Nov. 2020 and May 2021. However, the agency noted that they could have been sold more recently. According to the CDC, nine people have fallen ill after eating the frozen shrimp. The cases span four states—Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Rhode Island—and three of the illnesses required hospitalization. The CDC instructs you to contact your doctor if you experience any symptoms of salmonella poisoning, including diarrhea, a high fever, vomiting to the point that you can’t keep liquids down, signs of dehydration, dizziness when standing up, and dry mouth and throat.
