FDA warns public not to eat possibly radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart

The Food and Drug Administration is warning the public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection alerted the FDA about possible Cesium-137, or Cs-137, detected in shipping containers at four U.S. ports, the FDA said Tuesday in a press release. Testing on frozen shrimp from the distributor, Indonesia's BMS Foods, also tested positive, the FDA said.

Exactly right.

Cesium-137 is commonly cited as a potential radioactive material for use in dirty bombs. It’s a radioactive isotope produced as a byproduct of nuclear fission in reactors, often found in medical and industrial equipment like radiation therapy devices or gauges. Its properties—emitting gamma radiation, having a relatively long half-life (about 30 years), and being available in forms like cesium chloride that can be dispersed—make it a concern for misuse in radiological dispersal devices (RDDs), or dirty bombs. A dirty bomb combines conventional explosives with radioactive material to spread contamination, and Cesium-137’s accessibility and physical form make it a candidate, though the actual radiological impact would depend on the amount and dispersal method. No confirmed dirty bomb attacks using Cesium-137 have occurred, but its potential has been noted in security and counterterrorism discussions.

I almost bought some frozen “Louisiana brand crawfish” until I noticed it was from Taiwan. WTF?

“… what was in the shipping container previously that contained Cesium-137…”

Many years ago there was a case in Brazil where an old radiotherapy machine that used cesium was stolen and the core broken, releasing cesium salts, which killed at least 4 people right away.

In Mexico, there was a similar case that involved cobalt. In that case, it was mixed in with scrap metal and made into rebar and table legs.

137. It's not only tagged to the fine structure constant...

You have to figure that Kabbalah [קבלה] is radioactive just on general principle (Kabbalah = 137). Besides, we just learned right here yesterday from Scotland that

"The self declared King of Kabala is now marching through our streets telling people that Great Britain will bow before the 12 tribes of Kubala"

Now, considering that the Established channels of communication and teaching have all been corrupted, it makes sense at this time that the real intel would need to be broadcast on alternate frequencies.

Secret cods:

The key is in the absurdity levels and make-a-joke potential. That way the truth is not only out there, it's sure to get around.

So, while people point and laugh, no one can say that they hadn't been told!
