HOUSTON – A New York-based company has issued a voluntary recall of its canned shrimp due to possible contamination with clostridium botulinum, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Kawasho Foods USA Inc. expanded its Feb. 26 voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution over concerns that there was a possibility that the product was under processed, which could have led to the potential for spoilage organisms or pathogens.
