No one has reportedly become ill in New York State, however this doesn't mean that that products being recalled weren't sold in the Hudson Valley. If you believe you have any of these items in your freezer the CDC recommends you do not eat them. As always return them to where you bought them or throw them out. It is also recommended that you thoroughly clean any place that you may have stored the recalled shrimp.

According to the CDC symptoms of salmonella include a fever higher than 102 degrees, diarrhea for multiple days that doesn't clear up and vomiting. Symptoms can start as early as 6 hours after ingestion of contaminated food and persist for up to 6 days. Most people recover in 4 to 7 days. If you symptoms are severe you should contact your healthcare provider.
