Walmart has recalled frozen, raw shrimp sold in 13 states because of potential radioactive contamination. Lowcountry shrimpers continue to advocate for local sourcing

Although there’s been no confirmation of radiation risk in food purchased at Walmart stores, the FDA said that it has detected unsafe levels of cesium-137 contamination at four U.S. ports. This contamination likely suggests that the shrimp was packaged in unsanitary conditions.

Further testing revealed a small amount of the Cesium-137, or Cs-137, actually in one sample of breaded shrimp (at which port, they didn’t say). The discovery was enough for the FDA to recommend that Walmart stores stop selling specific Great Value shrimp products,

However, not all radioactive things happen due to a big and extraordinary event. Sometimes all it takes is a little cross contamination for something to become radioactive, like exposure to radioactive materials through the dirt,
