Certain raw frozen shrimp products processed by PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (doing business as BMS Foods), a company located in Indonesia, and sold at Walmart stores in AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MO, MS, OH, OK, PA, TX, and WV.
These products include the following product names, lot codes, and best by dates:
  • Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005540-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027
  • Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005538-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027
  • Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005539-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027
Additional product information is in a table below.
At this time, no product that has tested positive or alerted for Cesium-137 (Cs-137) has entered the U.S. commerce. FDA is working with distributors and retailers that received product from PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati after the date of first detection of Cs-137 by Customs & Border Protection (CBP), but from shipments that did not alert for Cs-137, to recommend that firms conduct a recall. In conjunction with other information, FDA determined that product from PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati violates the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act in that it appears to have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with Cs-137 and may pose a safety concern.

FDA Warning

Holy crap!

I did . Bingo! ….. j/k

Only source of Cs-137 is nuclear fission as I understand it so has to be related to nuc power generation plant , nuclear weapons, or …..aliens .

If you read the link none of the contaminated shrimp actually made it to Wal Mart… as far as they know anyway . It was caught at importation and import was rejected .

6 navies have nuc powered watercraft including China and India in that general part of the world (Indonesia). I wonder if that could be a potential source.

Company name looks Indonesian and the googles mention a 2021 discovery of Caesium-137 west of Jakarta, apparently leaked from fission.

Yes, Cesium-137 is a byproduct of nuclear fission, both from nuclear reactors or nuclear detonations.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

We had a major problem in Alabama/Florida gulf coast where restaurants were hiding the source (or even lying about the source) of their Shrimp.

I generally don't like regulation... but our local shrimpers were dealing with lying retailers and distributors labelling/misrepresenting source. Now if you serve shrimp you have to post if you may be sourcing shrimp from outside of our area. Demand for local shrimp has increased sharply as well - helping local shrimpers.

10 years have passed since F*ukushima (11 March 2011), 35 since Chernobyl. 1/2 life of Cs-137 30 years.

Walmart beats the hell out of their suppliers and the suppliers have to cut corners to meet those demands. Outside of that, it's like shopping in a third-world country, so I avoid WallyWorld.

As far as shrimp go, I only do Gulf shrimp or wild Argentine shrimp.

Didn't Japan recently dump the radioactive water that was used to cool the reactor during the meltdown?

Yes, but, in theory, they are dumping it miles out to sea in a way that it basically is immediately diluted below toxic levels.

in theory.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing there is another grocery store in town besides Wally World.

NEVER buy frozen seafood sourced from Asia. It's all disgusting, especially that bottom feeder slurry fish they try to pass off as catfish (not that I consider catfish actual seafood, the best is southern farm raised catfish).
