Stop & Shop review: Seafood section

Dear Sirs:

I was in the Shop and Stop located at132 Fulton Avenue, Hempstead, NY 11550 on today, January 30, 2024. I was headed to the seafood market to purchase salmon, crab legs and shrimp for a seafood boil. As a neared the seafood area, I noticed a worker who was in the frozen seafood area. He proceeded to open up bags of frozen shrimp and pour them into the area where the fresh seafood where the shrimp are maintained/ I was shocked at this practice. Those who shop for what they assume is fresh seafood are instead getting frozen items and are paying market prices. This practice is highly deceptive and is not in line with health and safety practices since there is a chance of cross contamination. In addition, the worker was not wearing gloves.

Needless to say, I will not be purchasing any seafood from that or any Shop and Stop and Shop location. I do not feel that this is an isolated incident and may be practiced in other Shop and Stops, as well.

I trust that you will address the issue.

Respectfully,

Sandra Senior
