FDA Warns Against Eating Possible Radioactive Shrimp Sold At Walmart
HuffPost
A radioactive isotope known as Cesium-137, or Cs-137, has been detected in some packages of shrimp sold under Walmart's Great Value brand.
The Food & Drug Administration is warning consumers not to eat, sell or serve specific frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible radioactive contamination.
In a press release issued Tuesday, the FDA said U.S. Customs and Border Protection alerted them that a radioactive isotope known as Cesium-137, or Cs-137, was detected in some packages of shrimp sold under Walmart’s Great Value brand.
The isotope was detected in shipping containers at four U.S. ports that belonged to BMS Foods, an Indonesia-based company. In addition, frozen shrimp from the company also tested positive for Cesium-137.
The FDA stressed that none of the shrimp that tested positive for the isotope has entered the U.S. food supply, but the agency is recommending a recall on all BMS products.
The possibly radioactive shrimp was reportedly sold at Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia under the following lots:
