The FDA has issued a recall of certain frozen shrimp across 31 states due to potential contamination with the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, although no illnesses have been reported. The recall involves products sold at major stores like Kroger and Walmart, and the FDA is investigating the source of contamination, which poses health risks including increased cancer risk from prolonged exposure.
A Seattle-based seafood company, AquaStar, has recalled over 85,000 bags of shrimp sold across multiple states, including Oregon and Washington, due to potential contamination with the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, posing health risks such as increased cancer risk. Consumers are advised not to eat the affected products and to return them for a refund.
The FDA has expanded its warning and recall of certain brands of shrimp due to potential contamination with the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, although no illnesses have been reported. The contaminated shrimp, processed by Indonesian supplier PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati, were sold in various states and are being recalled to prevent health risks from long-term low-dose exposure or high-dose external exposure. Consumers are advised not to eat the affected products and to dispose of them.
The FDA has expanded a recall of potentially radioactive frozen shrimp to nine states, including California, Massachusetts, and Washington, after traces of cesium-137 were found in imported shipments from Indonesia. The contamination level is below immediate health risk but raises concerns about long-term exposure, prompting recalls and import alerts. Consumers are advised to check labels and dispose of affected products.
The FDA advised against eating certain Great Value shrimp due to the detection of a small amount of radioactive isotope Cesium-137, but the levels found pose no immediate health risk. The contamination likely resulted from environmental exposure, and robust U.S. port monitoring ensures such low levels are detected early. While the presence of Cs-137 is unusual and concerning, the detected amounts are well below harmful thresholds, making the shrimp safe to eat.
The FDA has recalled certain Walmart brand frozen shrimp sold in multiple states due to potential contamination with the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, though no contaminated shrimp have entered U.S. commerce; consumers are advised to discard affected products and seek medical advice if concerned about exposure.
The FDA warns the public not to consume certain Walmart frozen shrimp due to possible contamination with the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, although no contaminated shrimp has entered the U.S. food supply; a recall is recommended for products from BMS Foods shipped after positive tests at ports.
