The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp sold at Walmart due to potential radioactive contamination with Cesium-137. While no products have tested positive, the FDA detected Cesium-137 in a shipment from Indonesia that didn't reach consumers. Specific lot codes (8005540-1, 8005538-1, 8005539-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027) are affected. Consumers are urged to discard these shrimp. Although the detected level is below the FDA's threshold for concern, long-term, low-dose exposure poses a cancer risk.
