Lakeland-based Publix supermarkets has issued a voluntary recall for 11oz packets of frozen
shrimp tempura. Actually, the shrimp is OK. It’s the dipping sauce packets, which that contain soy but aren’t labeled as such, that sparked the recall.
No illnesses have been reported, according to a Publix press release.
Customers with additional questions can call the company’s customer care center at 1-800-242-1227 or visit Publix’s website at www.publix.com.
Customers also can contact the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at 1-888-SAFEFOOD (1-888-723-3366).
Publix has recalled nearly half a dozen products in 2012. Most recently it was
hearts of Romaine, distributed by California-based Ready Pac, over
concerns about Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria that causes
Listeriosis.
Other recalls included sub sandwiches with onion, Publix brand beef
stew mix, seven-ounce Malta cans from a variety of producers including
Publix, Goya and Hatuey, and frozen desserts produced by Arctic Zero
Inc.
