Plain-English summary

Rockport Lobster Bisque, packed in 2 x 8 lb pouches and 4 x 4 lb pouches, from Plenus Group, is being recalled because the product contains undeclared shrimp, a crustacean shellfish.

The recall covers 130 cases of product code 4031 and 529 cases of product code 2031. Affected product includes the 2 x 8 lb pouch with production date 5 September 2025, manufacturing code 25248, best by 6 March 2027 and lot number 069161. It was distributed in Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Vermont, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Tennessee.

The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall, its most serious category, used where there is a reasonable probability of serious health consequences or death. Shellfish is a major allergen and shrimp is a distinct species from lobster, so someone avoiding shrimp specifically would not be warned.

These are bulk foodservice pouches, so kitchens holding affected product should stop using it and follow the firm's instructions.
