Sushi Recall Map Shows 7 States Facing Highest Risk Warning

4 hours ago

A wide range of sushi products recalled in May have now been issued the highest risk classification by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The supermarket chain Harris Teeter issued a voluntary recall for ZENSHI products in seven states and the District of Columbia on May 20. The firm received cucumbers which were later recalled due to possible salmonella contamination. These were used to make the sushi, according to the FDA’s recall notice.

The FDA subsequently issued its Class I risk classification for the recall on June 27.

Newsweek contacted Harris Teeter and Zenshi Sushi for comment by email outside of regular working hours.

Why It Matters

A Class I risk classification represents “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,” according to the FDA.

Salmonella bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illness and fever called salmonellosis in infected individuals. Symptoms typically develop between 12 to 72 hours after infection, and usually last between four and seven days.

Typical symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Individuals experiencing more severe infections may experience high fever, aches, headaches, lethargy, rashes, and blood in urine.

The FDA added that infections can become fatal on rare occasions, with around 450 people dying each year from salmonellosis.

The affected products were distributed to Harris Teeter stores in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

What People Are Saying

The FDA said on its website: “Children younger than five, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe salmonellosis infections.”

Providing advise on how to minimize the risk of food contamination, it adds: “Wash the inside walls and shelves of the refrigerator, cutting boards and countertops, and utensils that may have contacted contaminated foods; then sanitize them with a solution of one tablespoon of chlorine bleach to one gallon of hot water; dry with a clean cloth or paper towel that has not been previously used.

“People with pets should take special care to avoid cross-contamination when preparing their pet’s food. Be sure to pick up and thoroughly wash food dishes as soon as pets are done eating, and prevent children, the elderly, and any other people with weak immune systems from handling or being exposed to the food or pets that have eaten potentially contaminated food.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance on salmonella says: “In some people, the illness may be so severe that the patient is hospitalized. Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other parts of the body.”

What Happens Next

The recall is listed as ongoing, according to the FDA.
