Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
If you’ve purchased any of the recalled shrimp, you should return it to the store for a full refund.
