Walmart recalled three lots of Great Value frozen raw shrimp sold in 13 states due to potential radioactive contamination. The FDA detected Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, in imported shrimp from Indonesia. While the risk is considered low, the FDA recommends discarding affected products (lot codes 8005540-1, 8005538-1, 8005539-1, best-by 15 March 2027) to minimize long-term exposure to low-level radiation. The contamination was discovered in shipping containers and a sample of breaded shrimp. Walmart is cooperating with the FDA investigation.
