Can you get sick from eating old shrimp?

Answer 1

It can, but eating undercooked shrimp does not guarantee illness. That will depend on whether or not the raw shrimp carries the disease-causing microbes. But do not eat undercooked seafood. The risk is too great.

One form of foodborne illness that some people don't realize is the use of sulfites on shrimp. Sulfites are used for color retention and many people are allergic to sulfites. Another concern is the use of antibiotics in farm-raised shrimp. See Related Links.

Answer 2

Different kinds of bacteria can cause food poisoning. The food poisoning "salmonella mostly occurs in canned foods like canned beans canned vegetables, etc. What you DONT want to do is eat a food item that is expired. For example: It is March 24th and the food you are eating expired in January. That could cause food poisoning. (Look for the expiration date on foods. It is usually on the top or bottom.)
