Avanti Frozen Foods is recalling multiple brands of frozen cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp due to potential Salmonella contamination. The affected products were distributed nationally through importers and distributors.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, making the hazard theoretical at this stage, which limits the score to a maximum of 3 per the rubric.
