The FDA issued a warning urging consumers to avoid certain frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to potential radioactive contamination. The contamination, linked to Indonesian company PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati, involves Cesium-137 detected in shipping containers and shrimp products. Affected Walmart stores span 13 states. While levels detected are below intervention levels, the FDA advises discarding affected shrimp and consulting healthcare providers if concerned about exposure. The agency confirmed that contaminated products were denied entry into the US.
