The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday said it is actively investigating after a shipment of Walmart shrimp tested positive for a man-made radioactive material. 

U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) alerted the FDA to the detection of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) contamination in shipping containers and frozen shrimp products processed in Indonesia at four U.S. ports, including Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and Savannah, Georgia, according to a news release from the FDA.

Officials collected multiple samples for radionuclide analysis, confirming Cs-137 in one sample of breaded shrimp. The shrimp supplier, PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (aka BMS Foods), was added to the “red list,” meaning its products cannot be sold in the U.S. until the issue is resolved. more

  3. I haven’t bought any seafood or fish … actually, any meat products, from a grocery store since I’ve read that some are coming from another country and because they are “processed” in the USA, they can be labeled as a USA product.

    Also, they don’t label if they have been vaxxed, even if it is from a USA ranch/farm.

    When I run out of the 1/4 cow and all the venison ground meat, I will start buying all my meat products from a local ranch/farm. They grow all their own feed, use no herbicides or pesticides, have pigs, cows, free range poultry, plus milk products and eggs.

    I miss seafood and fish, but not taking any chances.

  6. I do and will not ever buy any seafood that comes from China or from farm raised conditions in SE Asia. And Wally World is one of the worst purveyors of cheap, polluted fish and any kind of seafood. I’ve seen flying fish, but I have never seen a flying shrimp. Along with Claudia the best beef that we ever ate as a family came from cows (we even named them Zeke and Zelda one yr.) that my dad and my uncle raised on his farm in N. Idaho. We slaughtered the cows ourselves which is a gruesome and gross process and then had a butcher cut it up for us to eat and since there was a meat locker next door to my dad’s gas station, we always had fresh meat in the fall.

  8. Wyatt, now that’s what I call an extra-large mutant jumbo shrimp. Do these shrimp glow in the dark and cause radiation poisoning when you eat them. And do they have 3 eyes and other forms of radiation sickness. The chinks will eat anything, and a lot of their farmlands are fertilized with night soil which is disgusting.

  11. @Geoff: of course they glow in the dark – how else are you going to find them in a dark freezer? And sure, you may get radiation poisoning, but you also may get some superpowers – it’s a crapshoot.

  13. Just finished up the last of the Jambalaya hot dish for lunch this afternoon. Relieved to read those were Walmart breaded shrimp.

    I hope there’s nothing wrong with the frozen spinach at Walmart. I’m stuffing pasta shells on Friday.

  16. Shrimp is weird. We briefly did a frozen shrimp pack contract, and it isnt regulated USDA or FDA but by the Department of Commerce for some reason, at least it was at the time. I wont say there were NO rules, but they were certainly less stringent…

  17. Walmart, always the low price, always. Care for some tilapia? Eats salmon shit. Also eats chicken shit. The Chinese cage the chickens above the tilapia ponds. Yay efficiency state capitalism style! What’s a little radioactivity between buddies? How many roentgens does one of these shrimps deliver? Probably not a concern if you’re over fifty. Walmart.
