The FDA is investigating reports that batches of frozen, raw shrimp from Indonesia might be radioactive.
Customs & Border Protection detected the radioisotope Cesium-137 at four U.S. ports, while the FDA confirmed the presence of Cesium-137 in one sample of breaded shrimp, leading to the denial of entry for all contaminated products.
The agency is working with Indonesian authorities to determine the cause of the contamination.
The FDA has recommended that Walmart recall specific lots of Great Value raw frozen shrimp. All have the item code 7383108 and best-by date of March 15, 2027.
Consumers are advised not to eat or serve these specific lots of shrimp and to dispose of any matching products, according to the FDA advisory.
