A few months ago Walmart had the same issue.

A touch of Cs-137 gives your shrimp dish that extra zing...

Radioactive scrap steel, probably from China.

Do not buy farmed shrimp from anywhere.
Do not buy any wild caught Seafood that comes from China.

I buy wild caught shrimp from the Gulf of America and/or wild-caught Argentinian red shrimp.

In the grocery stores it is nearly impossible to get any Seafood that does not come from China or, in the case of shrimp, farmed in India or Indonesia or Vietnam.

My daughter lived in Korea for a year and spent some time in China and Southeast asia. She said if you saw the condition of the waters where the Chinese Harvest their Seafood it would make you sick.

Why does so much of our seafood come from South East Asia? We have giant oceans on either side of our country and a giant gulf . Are there no fish, crab, clams, shrimp, lobsters, etc. in those waters?

With a half life of over 30 years a small particle absorbed into your body could cause serious health issues.

WHEW! I was worried it might have been the brand of the 4 lbs of frozen shrimp I recently picked up. I’m using them to make a BIG Hawaiian shrimp kebab on meal on the BBQ grill this weekend. For the first time I will be preparing Papaya seed dressing and will be marinating the shrimp in that. Fortunately NOT radioactive.

The level of cesium 137 detected in the frozen shrimp was about 68 becquerels per kilogram, a measure of radioactivity. That is far below the FDA’s level of 1,200 becquerels per kilogram that could trigger the need for health protections.

A banana typically contains around a half a gram of potassium, so it has an activity of around 15 Bq.
https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4313A

The average fruit is 20 cm long and weighs about 200 grams with the peel. The skin of a ripe banana weighs approximately 80 grams, which is 40% of the total weight of the fruit. In this regard, it is generally accepted that the average weight of one banana without a skin is 120 grams.
https://tastehub.decorexpro.com/en/banan/skolko-vesit/

Therefore, 1 kg of bananas contains 15/0.120 or approximately 125 Bq/kg, which is twice as much radioactivity as was found in the shrimp.

Perhaps a political decision?

All of the poor illegal alien slaves handling our food are trying to kill us. “Death From Within”.

Hmmm...
Turn out the lights, before eating shrimp...
Do they glow in the dark...
Double check with your Geiger counter...

Some food, especially seafood, spices, and mushrooms are deliberately irradiated by e-beam or Cs137. The packaging will have a little symbol called a “radura”.

Could it be that one of the food irradiators is leaking?
