Shrimp California Roll Recall Due to Salmonella Contamination

Mai Cuisine is recalling Shrimp California Roll products sold at Genji Sushi counters in Whole Foods Market stores in Northern California due to Salmonella contamination in the frozen shrimp ingredient.

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 recall involves a high-risk pathogen (Salmonella) identified in a ready-to-eat food product. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, so per the rubric, the score is at most 3. The hazard meets the "High" threshold for high-risk pathogen contamination without reported illness.

Plain-English summary

Mai Cuisine has initiated a recall of Shrimp California Roll products (UPC: 81244803702) sold from Genji Sushi counters inside Whole Foods Market stores in Northern California. The recall was prompted after the supplier of frozen shrimp notified Mai Cuisine of Salmonella contamination in the shrimp used to produce the sushi.

Approximately 1,490 packages of the affected products were distributed. The products can be identified by hand-crafted dates of 8/12/2021 and 8/13/2021, with corresponding best-by dates of 08/13/2021 and 08/14/2021.

Consumers who have purchased these products should not consume them. Individuals who have consumed the product and experience symptoms of Salmonella infection (such as diarrhea, fever, or abdominal cramps) should contact a healthcare provider.
