Atlanta, GA, United States (AHN) – Georgia’s Department of Agriculture has alerted consumers of the recall of cooked, fresh and frozen lobster meat by distributor Portland Shellfish Co. Inc. due to listeria bacteria contamination.
Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin advised the public not to eat packed lobster claw and knuckle meat bearing the Claw Island, Craig’s All Natural, Inland Ocean or Portland Shellfish labels.
The lobster meat was found to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that causes fatal infections in children, elderly people or those with weakened immune system. A listeria infection also can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Consumers who purchased any of the products are advised not to eat them and to return them to the store from which they were purchased. Anyone with questions about the recall can call 207-699-5505, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time.
