According to a press release from the FDA, Cesium-137 (Cs-137) was detected by U.S. Customs & Border Protection in shipping containers that arrived at ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and Savannah. Samples found the presence of Cs-137, a radioactive isotope in a shipment of breaded shrimp.
The FDA confirmed that Walmart received raw frozen shrimp that could be affected by the issue.
Cs-137 is a product of nuclear fission and is used in medical devices and gauges, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explains. It can also be used to gauge “the flow of liquid through pipes,” the agency said, and is “present in the environment from weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s.”
None of the shrimp products, which were processed by a company in Indonesia, that have entered the U.S. market have tested positive or alerted for Cs-137, according to the FDA.
However, the alert warns “the product appears to have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary[sic] conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with Cs-137 and may pose a safety concern.”

Never buy shrimp at Walmart or the Dollar Tree. And never eat sushi from AM\PM or 7-11.
but they taste extra fishy :)
Have there been a number of nuclear bomb tests or nuclear reactor accidents in Indonesia? From what I’m reading Cesium 137 is a byproduct of nuclear fission. Any scientists available to confirm?
Has anyone hear if Walmart sold radioactive shrimp to the Red Dog saloon?
I remember China was selling us radioactive sheetrock.
Those wacky Chinese!
The Firm warned us long ago.
iirc it was the 80's and they dumped it on the U.S. market because the red Chinese are total assholes trying to poison americans.
Self-cooking shrimp. What’ll they think of next?
Yep. Purchasing anything perishable from Walmart, you’re asking for trouble.
Right in the article.
Some places are not careful about how they dispose of their medical waste. There was a case in, I think Russia, where they had dump a machine and the radioactive powder was found and used for various things. Several people got quite ill.
“Walmart shrimp recalled over possible radioactive contamination”
the package label “radioactive free” didn’t mean what most people thought it meant ...
Who doesn’t want shrimp that cook themselves?
“”””And never eat sushi from AM\PM or 7-11.””””
That is easy to say but hard to practice when the day old sushi is marked down so much from its first day price.
Yes, thanks for reiterating that, but to be honest, I don’t trust much of what comes out of the CDC. If it is caused by medical waste, then it look’s like it’s just another consequence of the increased medical waste issue in Indonesia and elsewhere since the “pandemic” and wouldn’t be occurring otherwise.
They weren't.
There is a reason it isn't kosher, they are filthy animals.
