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.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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.

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.
