Recall Issued for Lobster Meat Distributed by Portland Shellfish Company

Portland Shellfish Company is voluntarily recalling several of its lobster products distributed between May 12 and June 8, 2010, to grocery stores and retailers nationwide due to a possible listeria contamination.

The FDA has also released a statement urging consumers not to consume the products. This comes just a few days after several of the products tested positive for listeria.

Listeria is a dangerous bacterium that can cause a variety of gastrointestinal problems and may lead to death in children, the elderly and individuals with weak immune systems. Listeria may also cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Symptoms of listeria infection include high fever, severe headaches, abdominal pain, stiffness and diarrhea.
