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. Cs-137 is a radioisotope of cesium that is not naturally occurring but has been present in our environment ever since the first nuclear explosions occurred in 1945.
The new recall includes frozen shrimp sold under several brand names, including Sand Bar, Best Yet, Arctic Shores, Great American, and First Street. The shrimp was distributed between July 17 and Aug. 8, 2025, though specific retail locations have not been named in the FDA’s notice.
