Why the Starfish Seafood Trio Was Recalled
During routine sampling, the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets detected Listeria monocytogenes in the Starfish Seafood Trio. Although no illnesses have been linked to the product, the company is recalling all affected packages out of an abundance of caution.
Health Risks of Listeria monocytogenes
Listeria can survive refrigeration and even freezing. Infection (listeriosis) is most dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, adults 65+, and anyone with a weakened immune system. Symptoms can appear anywhere from a few hours to 70 days after eating contaminated food and may include:
- High fever, chills and severe headache
- Muscle aches or neck stiffness
- Nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea
Pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms yet still suffer miscarriage, stillbirth or premature delivery.
