Slade Gorton & Co is issuing a voluntary recall of its “ICYBAY” cooked, ready-to-eat, frozen langostinos (prawns) because they have the potential to 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.

Registration for the general public is open for the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community’s spring blood drive, set for noon to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 18 in the lobby of Dakotah! Sport and Fitness, 2100 Trail of Dreams, Prior Lake.

To make an appointment to give blood, call SMSC Wellness Coordinator Amy Moore at (952) 233-2965.
