The Sea Horse brand Easy Peel Shrimp (908 g) has been recalled in Quebec after it was discovered that the product contains undeclared sulphites — a serious health concern for individuals with sulphite sensitivity or allergy. The issue was flagged on July 12, 2025, and consumers are advised to check their freezers immediately.

Affected Product:

1. Brand: Sea Horse
2. Product: Easy Peel Shrimp
3. Size: 908 g
4. UPC: 8 32365 00187 9
5. Best Before: 17/02/2026

Why This Matters:

Sulphites are chemical preservatives commonly used in food, but they must be declared on packaging as they are a known allergen. When not labeled, they pose a hidden threat to sensitive individuals.

Reactions can range from mild to life-threatening. Even small amounts may cause:

• Breathing difficulty (especially in asthmatics)
• Nausea or diarrhea
• Skin reactions
• Anaphylactic-like symptoms in severe cases

People who are unaware of the presence of sulphites are at particular risk, especially children, the elderly, and individuals with asthma or sulphite intolerance.

What You Should Do:

If you have this product:

• Do not consume it, especially if you are sensitive or allergic to sulphites

• Return it to the place of purchase or dispose of it safely

• Watch for signs of reaction if already consumed

• Contact a healthcare provider if symptoms develop

Stay Safe:

Always read ingredient labels and stay updated on recall alerts to safeguard yourself and your loved ones. This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate food labeling and allergen transparency.
