Kawasho Foods USA Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of its 4-ounce canned GEISHA Medium Shrimp due to a potential health risk. The recall affects products sold in California, Utah, Arizona, and Colorado.
The company announced the recall on Sunday after receiving reports of cans that were swelling, leaking, or bursting. According to the statement posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, these issues could mean the shrimp was underprocessed. This raises the risk of spoilage or harmful bacteria.
The recalled shrimp comes from a single lot with the code LGC12W12E22. The affected cans have a “best by” date of May 12, 2026, printed on the bottom. They are marked with the UPC number 071140003909.
These products were sold at several major retailers, including Walmart, Associated Food Stores, Stater Bros. Markets, Safeway, and Albertsons.
Kawasho Foods has advised consumers not to eat the shrimp, even if it looks or smells normal. So far, no illnesses or other health problems have been reported.
Customers who purchased the product are encouraged to return it to the store for a full refund.
