In 16% of cooked, ready-to-eat shrimp, we found several bacteria, including vibrio and E. coli. Those bacteria can potentially cause illnesses such as food poisoning—which could include diarrhea and dehydration—and, in rare instances, can even prove fatal.

Read More »If shrimp is one of your favorite foods, we've got some news you may not like. Consumer Reports just released a thorough study on the safety of the popular seafood, and the results may convince you to pass on the shrimp cocktail next time...and every time thereafter. Before I break your shrimp-loving heart, here are the fun facts first. Americans eat more shrimp than tuna, and we consume three times more of it than we did 35 years ago. Now the hard-to-swallow stuff. To inspect the safety of the shellfish, the publication's investigators bought 342 packages of frozen shrimp, including raw and cooked varieties. After testing them for bacteria and antibiotics, almost 20% of the ready-to-eat kind were ridden with the bad stuff. In 16% of cooked, ready-to-eat shrimp, we found several bacteria, including vibrio and E. coli. Those bacteria can potentially cause illnesses such as food poisoning—which could include diarrhea and dehydration—and, in rare instances, can even prove fatal. As for raw shrimp, it gets worse. They found that "60% contained one of four types of bacteria that can cause disease in humans." In 11 of the samples, antibiotics were also discovered. They're "problematic because their use can ultimately lead to bacteria becoming antibiotic-resistant, meaning that at some point the antibiotic may no longer work to treat common human ailments," according to Consumer Reports. Which is at least partly why the FDA doesn't allow any antibiotics in U.S. shrimp farming, and it's illegal for shrimp raised with antibiotics to be imported into the country. So how did fishy shellfish end up in supermarkets in the first place? Being that the FDA "tested less than 1 percent of imported shrimp" last year, a lot slips through the cracks. To make sure you're eating the best shellfish, Consumer Reports recommends buying "sustainably fished wild shrimp." Look for these labels to check if your package fits the bill.
