NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Grocery stores across the Gulf Coast are pulling a specific brand of frozen shrimp off the shelves after a recall was issued for a posed health risk.
On Tuesday, November 2, Southeastern Grocers issued a recall on its 16-count pack of Fisherman’s Wharf brand frozen jumbo-cooked shrimp.
SEG says customers who have purchased and still have the shrimp should throw it away or return it to any store for a full refund.
