    Default Don't Eat Trader Joe's Shrimp!!!!

    AAAAA!!!

    Okay, I would like to say first that I very very very rarely get stomach-sick. I generally have an "iron stomach." But today...ugh. I had bought a bag of frozen shrimp from Trader Joe's.... It's the Trader Joe's brand. I defrosted the shrimp and made a bunch of shrimp quesadillas. I know that the cheese I used and the tortillas were NOT bad, cause I ate that crap yesterday.

    Speaking of crap, now (about 5 hours after I ate) I just had a hellacious bout of explosive diahrea. You know the kind where your body temperature goes up to like 105 degrees and you are doubled over in agonizing pain?? Ick.

    My dog ate one of the quesadillas, and she as well is pissing out of her ass now too....My boyfriend is in bed sleeping next to me, and I'm betting you some time soon he's going to jump up and run to the bathroom....which sucks for me because our house only has one!!

    Stay away from the Trader Joe's Shrimp, y'all!!!

    Oh no, that sounds awful. I've never had a problem eating anything from Trader Joe's. When you're feeling better you should go to the store and tell them that you suffered food poisoning. Their customer service is excellent. I hope you feel better soon!

    I've never eaten their food. Everyone recommends it, but I just haven't gotten to it. Sounds like I'm not missing out on much.
    Could it have been the way you cooked it? Who knows, but I would contact them.

    Also, I would steer clear of giving your dog shrimp. Studies have shown that in moderate amounts it can cause Vitamin A toxicity. I'm not sure how small/big your dog is, but I would avoid people food in general.

    lol she's almost 100lbs, so I don't feel bad giving it to her as a treat esp since most of what I eat is organic...... didn't know about the vitamin a thing tho!!

    The shrimp was "pre-cooked" and frozen, so even if I just ate it out the bag it should have been okay....

    I generally like TJ's, but this was bad!!

    I'm sorry if I'm getting off topic but.....

    The employees at Trader Joes annoy me. I like to be left alone while grocery shopping, Its serious business to me. lol

    They don't seem to leave me alone.

    I know they are trying to offer there help but I just get annoyed.

    Agreed. I also hate the customers. Some fat old cunt called me a ditz while I was in the checkout line because apparently I didn't move my cart far enough out of the way for her gigantic ass and stomach rolls to squeeze by my. She was probably in a hurry to tear into whatever doghnuts she bought in the car. Bi-otch!

    LMAO. That's what it feels like going there on a weekday morning. Old people everywhere. I would call the TJ's you bought it from and let them know. You might not be the only one who suffered from the explosiveness.

    Your description is hysterical though I am sure that pissing out of your ass is not fun.

    Hope you feel better! And thanks for the heads up.

    Haha, that's hilarious^! I hate being in public, there's always some jerk on a cell blocking major (human or auto) traffic, or otherwise f*cking up.
    Anyway, so sorry for your distress . Try some slipperly elm (herbal) caps, they're great for the tummy.
    Also, geez, for some reason (I'm a ditz?) I thought this was talking about JOE's Crab Shack shrimp! I have frozen TJ shrimp, just ate 'em the other day! Didn't bother me. Hmm, I still have like a 1/4 bag left!
    To who ever was saying about the employees buggin' ya, I find that's more true than ever, in almost every damn store, which is why I retreat to online (when possible). I mean, at Bath & Bod. works, you can't take a step w/o someone in your face

    We call that "liquid fire" in my house...Liquid shit that burns your asshole as it squirts out, stomach cramps reminiscent of labor pains, breaking out into a cold sweat and your body temp is so high that while on the toilet you start to feel nauseated. I feel your pain hun, that is TORTURE. God speed on recovery sweet heart.

    Yeah def let Trader Joe's know, their customer service is good and they might throw out that batch.

    Sorry to threadjack but do any of the folks remember the Double D's strip club in Morristown? Eating their shrimp = bad idea - WTF was I thinking! I am also seeing the guy who put that dent in the guardrail tonight.

    IMO Trader Joes takes the cake when it comes to bugging you. I remember the first time I walked in a Trader Joes in P.A. I was SO TIRED from working the night before and I SO wasnt in the mood. I'm sure I gave the poor guy the death look of all death looks

    I've never had them bug me on the West Coast, shrug. I'm a big TJs fan: they're the best place for cheap supplements, fair trade coffee, and gourmet cheese. But they're not perfect.

    With frozen food like that, IIRC... there's a possibility that somewhere in transport, it thawed and re-froze, and some sleepy bacteria woke up and started breeding. Tell them, for sure! They'll want to know!

    If you still have the bag, bring it with you. It'll have the batch stamp, etc on it that can help them if they need to do a recall.

    The TJ's here is really great. They say hello when you walk in, but they don't bother you after that. Maybe it's a regional thing...

    It must be a regional thing because they never bug me here. Some of them I've approached have been very nice and friendly and will say hi when they see me the next day, but that's it. And Raymond from TJs in Tucson, if you ever read this... I LOVE YOU!

    The employees rock, but the customers can suck a giant bag of rotten shrimps. Fucking assholes. One old fucker actually cut in line and turned and said, "Age before beauty!" Haha, the girl at checkout saw it and kicked him out of her line. Asshat.

    Hahaha thanks guys!

    The "liquid fire" episode subsided hours after it started...

    I did call trader Joes and they apologized and said that they will refund the purchase price with store credit next time I go....

    And when I go, I will be buying two buck chuck and that's about it haha!

    My grandma always says that! haha. But what a rude old jerk!

    My grandma also says, "Why couldn't we have been born rich instead of beautiful?"

    I suppose if anyone on this site had been born rich instead of beautiful, well, we wouldn't ever get naked for $$$
