US supplier recalls Schwan’s shrimp product

Vernon, California, U.S.A.-based Fisherman’s Pride Processors Inc. is recalling certain bags of Schwan’s brand Garlic Herb Shrimp due to undeclared milk and soy on the labels.

Fishermen’s Pride is recalling 100 bags of the frozen shrimp with date code 4A924608xx-B1.

“People who have allergic or sensitivity to milk or soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if the recalled product is consumed,” the supplier said in a press release posted on the United States Food and Drug Administration’s website.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that Schwan’s Garlic Herb Shrimp was found in cases labeled Schwan’s Shrimp Scampi.

“Subsequent investigation found packaging of Schwan’s Garlic Herb Shrimp #567 was used to package Schwan’s Shrimp Scampi #530,” Fisherman’s Pride said.

Schwan’s may have distributed the recalled product to the lower 48 states through its home delivery network. The recalled product was not sold in retail stores.

There have been no reported injuries or illnesses linked to the recall.

The recalled 16-ounce bags include code #567 on the top left corner, UPC code 052008, and Product Identification code 4A924608xx-B1.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled Garlic Herb Shrimp are urged to return it to Schwan's for a full refund.
