The FDA has announced the recall of Regal King seafood dips, including Premium Krab Dip, Cajun Krab Dip, Shrimp Dip, and Smoked Salmon Dip.  The recalled dips may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Pregnant woman have a higher risk of contracting a Listeria infection (listeriosis).  Although pregnant women may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, a Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths.

The recalled Regal King seafood dips were sold to A&P warehouses in 5-pound packages, repackaged, and sold to consumers at A & P stores in clear plastic containers with a Regal King label.  All flavors have a red and white repack label. 

The recall was the result of an independent systemic sampling program, which revealed that one finished product contained Listeria. The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as FDA and Ocean King Enterprises continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.
