"For the sixth time in more than a month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is recalling frozen shrimp products for possible contamination by Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope. But so far, there are no indications that the radioactive shrimp has caused any illnesses among consumers. The latest company to voluntarily pull possibly contaminated sea food from the shelves is Seattle-based AquaStar. It is recalling three types of shrimp products that were sold in grocery stores across 31 states in the U.S., including California."
"All three products are being pulled from the shelves because they may have been prepared, packed or held in unsanitary conditions. Consumers who purchased affected shrimp should not eat it and should either throw it away or return it to the grocery store for a full refund, officials advised."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating possible Cesium-137 contamination in frozen shrimp and has overseen multiple recalls. Kroger-brand and AquaStar shrimp products sold between June 12 and Sept. 17 are being pulled from shelves across 31 states, including California. Nearly 50,000 two-pound bags of Kroger Raw Colossal EZ Peel, about 18,000 two-pound bags of Kroger Mercado Cooked Medium Peeled Tail-Off, and over 17,000 1.25-pound AquaStar Raw Peeled Tail-on Skewers are affected. The products may have been prepared, packed, or held in unsanitary conditions. Consumers are advised not to eat affected shrimp and to discard or return it for a full refund. No illnesses have been reported.
