The Kroger Co. initiated a recall involving raw and undercooked shrimp the day after Christmas, asking retailers in three states to post the notice through Dec. 31, 2018, even though the sell-by dates on the products are in August 2020.  

Erroneous labeling states the shrimp products are cooked, but they are actually raw and undercooked, according to the Kroger recall. 

As of Jan. 8, the company’s recall had not been posted by the Food and Drug Administration. The agency has posted five other food recall notices since the partial shutdown of the federal government began on Dec. 22.

The notice posted on Kroger’s website says the recall “affects Kroger stores located in , Central and Northwest Ohio; Northwestern Virginia panhandle;, Michigan;, KingSoopers, Frys, Smiths” but does not identify which locations received the shrimp.

“Customers who purchased any of the items below should not eat the product. The product may be under-cooked, which could result in contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens,” according to the recall notice. “Please return the product to this store for a full refund.”

Kroger, the second-largest grocery retailer in the United States, suggests consumers contact Aqua Star Consumer Hotline at 800-232-6280 if they have questions.
