FDA warns of radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart
TL;DR
Walmart has recalled certain shrimp products across 13 US states after the FDA detected radioactive isotopes, specifically Cesium-137, in a shipment from Indonesia. The contaminated shrimp, sold under the Great Value label, was found not to have entered US commerce, but consumers are advised to discard any recent purchases matching the description and seek refunds. The contamination poses a potential long-term cancer risk due to radiation exposure.
