Harris Teeter recalls seafood products

Harris Teeter is voluntarily recalling eight products sold in its service seafood department, as listed below, because they contain onions which may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious or life-threatening food borne illness in a person who eats a food item contaminated with it. Listeria bacteria are most commonly found in raw foods and symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, nausea or diarrhea.

Harris Teeter is distributing this notification upon being informed by its manufacturer 3 Fish, Inc. that the crab and lobster products listed below contain onions that may be contaminated with Listeria.

Harris Teeter is contacting customers who it has reason to believe purchased the products it is voluntarily recalling. Customers who may have purchased the products between Sept. 3, 2012, and Sept. 7, 2012, are asked to please return them to their local Harris Teeter for a full refund.
