BOSTON (AP) - A seafood company has issued a voluntary recall of its cooked langostinos because of possible listeria contamination.

About 450 pounds of the recalled "Icybay Cooked Langostinos" from Boston-based Slade Gorton & Company were sold in one-pound packages to retailers in Massachusetts and Maryland.

The product was sold in retail stores in a clear plastic package marked with UPC 0-73129-61672-8.

About 11,000 pounds were sold to wholesalers in West Virginia and 18 other states over the last four months.

The other states are as follows: Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont and Wisconsin.

Chief Financial Officer Michael Smith says this is the company's first consumer recall in its 80-year history. No sicknesses related to the product have been reported.

A langostino is also called a squat lobster. The crustacean is between a shrimp and a lobster in appearance.
