Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Walmart Recalls Shrimp in 13 States Over Radioactive Contamination Risk
Caption: Walmart Recalls Shrimp in 13 States Over Radioactive Contamination Risk. Walmart has issued a recall of frozen shrimp products in 13 U.S. states after a shipment tested positive for radioactive contamination. The FDA says certain Great Value brand shrimp may have been exposed to Cesium-137, a dangerous isotope, during shipping. While one positive sample never reached store shelves, consumers are being urged to throw away any recently purchased shrimp matching the recall notice. Walmart says the affected products have been pulled from stores and customers can return them for a full refund. The recalled shrimp came from an Indonesian supplier, which has since had multiple shipments denied entry into the U.S. The FDA emphasized that the contamination levels detected were not high enough to cause immediate illness, but long-term exposure could increase the risk of cancer. The recall impacts Walmart locations across Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia.
