The Food and Drug Administration issued an alert earlier this week about shrimp sold at Walmart over concerns that it could be radioactive. And now more shrimp are being added to the list. Southwind Foods, a company based in Carson, California, is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of frozen shrimp due to possible contamination with Cesium-137, according to a press release from the FDA.

Food recalls and warnings happen every day. But the latest warning from the Food and Drug Administration about frozen shrimp is an odd one. That’s because the health agency is concerned about possible radioactive contamination. The FDA issued an alert on Tuesday for some Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp sold at Walmart.

As CNN reports, six current and former FDA officials are warning that the AI, dubbed Elsa, which was unveiled weeks earlier, is "hallucinating" completely made-up studies. It's a terrifying reality that could, in a worst-case scenario, lead to potentially dangerous drugs mistakenly getting the stamp of approval from the FDA.
