I saw this on the news last night and thought it's a bit late to be warning people who bought this product that far back. A lot of people probably already consumed them, getting sick without knowing why.

We've had so many of these recalls lately, both in human and pet food. You have to wonder about the safety protocols in place.

I am safe on this one - I never buy cooked frozen shrimp because they have an odd taste.

LOL the CDC haters are going to run out and buy frozen shrimp now just for spite.
