The FDA found salmonella in shrimp imported by Kader Exports, from India, causing a recall of various frozen shrimp products, including those sold under the house brands Costco, BJ’s Wholesale and Tops grocery chains.

According to Vader, “Kader Exports did not distribute and have agreed to voluntarily destroy cooked shrimp found violative. The probable root cause for this recall is cross contamination. The company has eliminated the source of contamination and preventive steps were taken.

“Based on known consumption patterns it is believed most if not all the distributed products have been consumed, and any remaining product has been placed on hold subject to further evaluation.”

The shrimp went to distributors from February to the middle of May.

Consumers with the below shrimp products can return them to the store for a full refund:
