Check your frozen shrimp to see if it's on the recall list.
Shrimp Recall: 44,550 Pounds of Ready-to-Eat Shrimp Recalled for Potential Listeria Contamination
Published on Jun. 11, 2025
Put your stir-fries and seafood salads on hold until you make sure your freezer stash of shrimp isn’t part of the latest food recall. Bornstein Seafoods just recalled 44,550 pounds of ready-to-eat coldwater shrimp. The shrimp is cooked, peeled, and sold frozen.
Bornstein Seafoods recalled the shrimp June 10 after detecting listeria monocytogenes during routine sampling.
What caused the recall?
After the seafood company found listeria present in shrimp through routine testing, it stopped distributing the shrimp. Right now, Bornstein Seafoods is still investigating and does not know why the shrimp was contaminated.
Where was the recalled shrimp sold?
The recalled shrimp was sent to distributors and retailers in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, Canada. Because the shrimp was sent to distributors, that means it could have been shipped to retailers nationwide. At this time, we don’t know what stores carry the frozen, ready-to-eat shrimp.
The bags are labeled as Bornstein Seafoods Coldwater Shrimp Meat. They were sold in 1-pound and 5-pound bags in the freezer section. The lot codes for the affected shrimp are located at the bottom on the back of the bags. Here are the UPC numbers and lot codes to look out for:
- Frozen shrimp 250/350 count, 1-pound bag

What should I do next?
Those most at risk for listeria poisoning are newborns, pregnant people, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Symptoms of intestinal listeriosis can begin one to three days after eating affected foods. If you’ve recently eaten the recalled shrimp and start to feel ill or develop symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue or muscle aches, please seek medical attention.
If you have the recalled shrimp in your freezer, bring it back to the store where you bought it for a full refund. If you have any questions, reach out to Bornstein Seafood via [email protected].
