Test Showed Mild Allergy To Shrimp. Are Canned Food Shrimp Related?

My Dr. gave me an allergy test and she said it came back as having a mild allergy to shrimp not shelfish though. I haven t had shrimp in months and the reason I had her test me is I am suffering from rosacea . Other than that I have never felt sick when i have eaten shrimp. My question is are there any ingredients in canned foods that are shrimp related without listing shrimp as the ingredient I should be looking out for?

It is mendatory to write every ingredient on canned food
if there is no shrimp on the ingredient list it means there is no shrimp you can have it
