Maesri Brand Shrimp Powder, 6.oz

Eastland Food Corporation recalled Maesri Brand Shrimp Powder, 6.oz in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Oct 20, 2015.

The FDA-published reason for this recall is: "The New York Department of Agriculture and Markets notified Eastland Food Corp. that they analyzed a sample of the shrimp powder and determined that the product contained FD&C Yellow #6, but the label failed to declare its presence. Yellow #6 can cause an allergic reaction for a small population of individuals."

Distribution was broad: the FDA record describes it as "The shrimp powder is manufactured in Thailand and imported to the United States by Eastland. Eastland then distributes the shrimp powder nationwide to retail stores," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Jessup, MD. The recall covers 945 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 16, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
