The FDA has updated its recall for sushi that was sold in a popular supermarket for the highest classification of danger.
Zenshi Sushi products sold by Harris Teeter in seven states and DC were called on May 20 after it was discovered that cucumbers used to make the sushi were possibly infected with Salmonella.
The supermarket announced the major recall in May and insisted on customers in those states to throw the products away if they had them or return them to the store.
The classification -upgrade this month brings it to class I, the highest risk level that the FDA may have designated a recalled product.
A classification of class I represents ‘a situation in which there is a reasonable chance that the use of or exposure to a violent product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death’.
It is believed that the Salmonella risk comes from the use of cucumbers of Bedner Growers Inc who were also recalled after they have been sold in 18 states that caused 45 diseases and 16 hospital admissions.
Salmonella is a kind of bacteria that causes salmonellosis that causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and sometimes bloody stools.
Many people with salmonellosis also develop fever, who can become serious and require hospitalization, and the severe GI over control can lead to dehydration.
