Multiple frozen shrimp product lines have been recalled after detection of radioactive Cesium-137 linked to shipping containers and an imported sample. Southwind Foods recalled bagged shrimp sold under several brand names distributed between July 17 and Aug. 8 to stores and wholesalers in nine states. Walmart recalled Great Value frozen raw shrimp sold in 13 states. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a safety alert and advised consumers not to eat the recalled products. Traces of Cesium-137 exist in the environment, and the main health concern is increased cancer risk from long-term, repeated low-dose exposure.
More packages of frozen shrimp potentially affected by radioactive contamination have been recalled, federal officials said Thursday. California-based Southwind Foods recalled frozen shrimp sold under the brands Sand Bar, Arctic Shores, Best Yet, Great American and First Street. The bagged products were distributed between July 17 and Aug. 8 to stores and wholesalers in nine states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, and Washington state.
Walmart stores this week recalled packages of Great Value frozen raw shrimp sold in 13 states because of potential radioactive contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a safety alert after federal officials detected Cesium-137 in shipping containers sent to four U.S. ports and in a sample of frozen breaded shrimp imported by BMS Foods of Indonesia. The FDA advises consumers not to eat the recalled products.
