Kroger is recalling cooked shrimp that was actually sold raw or undercooked because they could be a potential health hazard. That means the shrimp could be contaminated with spoilage bacteria or with bacteria that could make you sick. The Kroger shrimp was sold in stores in parts of Michigan, central and northwest Ohio, and northwestern Virginia. This recall also includes Fry’s, King Soopers, and Smith’s grocery stores that are part of the Kroger chain. Specific stores where the product may have been sold were not listed.
The recall includes these Kroger shrimp products with use by dates of 8/25/20 and 8/26/20:

If you purchased any of these products, don’t eat them and don’t cook the shrimp and then eat it; bacteria can produce toxins that are heat-resistant. Throw them away after wrapping the package in foil or plastic wrap so other people and animals can’t eat them. You can also return the shrimp to the place of purchase for a refund.
