Recall For Publix Premium Frozen Tempura Shrimp
Publix Super Markets is issuing a voluntary recall for
11oz Publix Premium Frozen Tempura Shrimp. The dipping sauce packet
included with the product contains soy that is not declared on the
packaging. Publix discovered this during internal product evaluations.
People
who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of a
serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume products
containing soy.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the product.
“As
part of our commitment to food safety, potentially impacted product has
been removed from all store shelves,” said Maria Brous, Publix media
and community relations director. “Consumers who have purchased the
product in question may return it to their local store for a full
refund.”
