Gourmet Health Food starts with Certified Wild Georgia shrimp from Eagle Wood Farms.

Gourmet health food aficionados have healthy appetites with brains.

An expertly prepared shrimp dish can only begin with the succulent sweet taste of chemical free, Certified Wild Georgia Shrimp.

Eagle Wood Farms uses the experts from Poteet Seafood to freeze fresh shrimp from the local waters of Georgia.

Poteet has been kind enough to write a letter to our customers explaining the dangers of shrimp preservatives.

With this letter I hope to allay any concerns regarding the use of preservatives in our Certified Wild Georgia Shrimp.

A valid question from you is,” why are Poteet Seafood shrimp packages labeled with the phrase, contains sulfite based preservatives”?

Our answer is that we label our shrimp this way because our number one concern is food safety. Period. Our HACCP approved processing facility and our shrimpers operate chemically free and our product is randomly tested for pollutants. However, even with strict cleanliness, trace amounts of sulfites may be introduced accidentally as our shrimp pass through common areas where other shrimp containing trace amounts of sulfites are processed as their use may be a requirement of those customers.

We understand that there are people with extreme hypersensitivity to sulfite preservatives as with peanut hypersensitivity, and this is why we label our product as such.

We strive for purity but no processing system, even ours, is 100% fool proof 100% of the time.

We at Poteet Seafood wish you the best.

Sincerely,

Bill Eckerd President
