More Frozen Shrimp Recalled Amid Contamination Fears
Initial Discovery
In late August 2025, U.S. regulators dramatically expanded a recall of frozen shrimp amid concerns about possible contamination with the radioactive isotope cesium-137 (Cs-137), a substance known to carry long-term health risks.

Although that specific consignment did not enter the U.S. food supply, it triggered a broader investigation.
