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. Initially, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) flagged certain frozen shrimp from Walmart’s Great Value brand after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intercepted shipments containing detectable levels of Cs-137 in one container. Although that specific consignment did not enter the U.S. food supply, it triggered a broader investigation.
