Recall Summary

Mai Cuisine recalled Shrimp California Roll [BR] in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Aug 13, 2021.

The recall was triggered by possible Salmonella contamination: "Recall initiated after notification from supplier of recall of frozen shrimp due to Salmonella contamination that had been used in sushi products." Salmonella is one of the most common causes of U.S. foodborne illness, with symptoms that typically appear within six hours to six days of exposure.

The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Sep 8, 2021), 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.
