Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, was detected in containers at four U.S. ports and subsequently found in one sample of breaded shrimp. Indonesia's BMS Foods allegedly prepared, packed, or held product under insanitary conditions that may have led to Cs-137 contamination and a potential safety concern. No shrimp that tested positive entered U.S. commerce. All products from BMS are banned from entering the U.S. until the firm resolves the conditions that gave rise to the violation. Specific Great Value lot codes with a March 15, 2027 best-by date were identified; affected stores spanned multiple states and customers are eligible for full refunds.
The FDA said Tuesday that certain types of Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart may be contaminated with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope. U.S. Customs and Border Protection initially told the FDA that Cesium-137 had been detected in containers at four different U.S. ports, the FDA said. The FDA then found the isotope in one sample of breaded shrimp.
