MOPH, in cooperation with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, is working to ensure that all quantities of Indian shrimp offered are withdrawn from the market.

The Ministry calls upon consumers, in the event of purchasing fresh and frozen Indian shrimp during the last three days, not to consume it and return it to the outlets from which it was purchased.

If it has been consumed and the symptoms of gastrointestinal infection are felt, the consumer should visit the nearest health centre.
