On Thursday, Southwind Foods, headquartered in Carson, California, recalled multiple brands of frozen shrimp potentially affected by radioactive contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The shrimp was sold under the brands Sand Bar, Arctic Shores, Best Yet, Great American and First Street between July 17 and Aug. 8 to stores in California, Alabama, Arizona, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and Washington.

Earlier this week, Walmart stores recalled frozen shrimp from the brand Great Value in 13 states after federal officials detected Cesium-137, a radioactive material, in shipping containers and a sample of frozen breaded shrimp. CS-137 is a common byproduct of processes like nuclear weapons testing and nuclear reactors. Long term, repeated low-dose exposure to CS-137 can cause an elevated risk of cancer. No illnesses have been reported to date related to the frozen shrimp.
