Dear Brian:
For what you mention, the white spots could be:
- Freeze burning
- Presence of the white spot virus syndrome in shrimp (in advance stages you could observe them as calcium deposits over the shell of shrimp). Comment: The virus does not affect humans in any way, only the shrimp.

Dear list
Recently I received a complaint from a customer re white spot in frozen raw
shell on shrimp. Can anybody from this list provide me with info as to what
this is, and what is the cause?
