April 16, 2011

La Fiesta Food Products is recalling all Dried Shredded Shrimp products due to an error on the ingredients labels. The products contain sulfites and the new labels will be updated accordingly.

Certain consumers having severe sensitivity or allergies to sulfite run the risk of allergic reactions if they consume this product. Additionally, La Fiesta Food Products is recalling Dried Shredded Shrimp products sold under the label Mi Pueblo. Dried Shredded Shrimp are sold in the following packages:
